"I was thoroughly impressed by the social/educational program that the Jude Thaddeus Program professes.  Making the correct choices and living according to the principles that the program proclaims can indeed bring about happiness to anyone.  I found that this program is not solely about sobriety, but about how to be happy.  In this, I have learned as much from the students as they have from me.  Though I have never struggled with addiction personally, my life has had its share of depressing, anxiety provoking times. This program has actually helped me greatly in my quest for happiness.

I have seen so many positive results from the Jude Thaddeus Program.  I indeed love every aspect of it.  As an educator, I have finally discovered a logical program that will work.  I have seen too many young people struggling with addiction.  I only wish that this program was mandatory in every high school as I feel the results would be astoundingly positive."
