Testimonials

Eric from Project Headspace and Timing is truly one of a kind. Eric came into my life years ago and offered me services for my substance abuse and behaviors, and at the time I didn't think anything of it. But through these rough years a common denominator stayed the same and that was Eric. He was the only person outside of my family to show up through my awful demise. No matter what time or what it was Eric was there, through the hospital visits, police encounters, car crashes and ultimately jail. Eric visited me not just once, but multiple times through my incarceration, in fact he was the only one to visit. I finally saw hope and made a decision to change. It has been a really rough road for me because of my decision making but Eric never judged or told me I had to do something. He was just there and I think that's what a lot of veterans need, because bridges get burnt and a lot of veterans end up alone. I don't know how he does it and I often think about the time he takes out of his personal life to help veterans in need. I'm forever grateful for Eric and his organization Project Headspace and Timing for never giving up on me, because I had. I want to thank Eric personally though because he never pushed anything on me, he was just there every time and I truly believe that's why I am alive today, because death was imminent if I continued down the path I was going. I want to wrap up on the positives, I have so much to be grateful for and I feel as if I owe Eric so much. That's what most veterans need and I look forward to helping our veteran community. Thank you Eric and Project Headspace and Timing.

Hi Eric, I just wanted to reach out and say thank you for what you and your organization has done for me. To say you saved my life would be an understatement. I was in a very dark place after I got back from my deployment, and even worse after losing my mother in law and getting laid off from my job. Having 5 kids at home (2 of which were babies) and a sick wife, I felt like there was no way out and I was ready to end it all.. I just had no fight left in me. When I got introduced to you and your organization, I was skeptical at first. I had no hope that anyone could possibly understand what I was facing. I still figured I would give it a shot. At first it was nice just to have someone to share my struggle with (it seemed like nobody cared what I was dealing with, only that I made some mistakes). Then, you started sharing resources with me that I didn't know existed (even though I have been in the military for over 15 years). At one of my lowest points, you got me linked up with a treatment facility that has since been the turning point in my life, and I am forever grateful. It has been about four months now since you helped me get to the Indiana Center for Recovery, and I have not looked back. I am on a good path to put the pieces of my life back together and for the first time in a long time it feels like there is a light at the end of my dark tunnel. I can't thank you enough for the support and encouragement you have shown me over the past several months. Most of all, I am grateful to now have someone I can consider my friend that has not only helped me, but also continues to help others like me once again find hope! I still have a long road to travel to get through my current issues, but I truly hope to one day be in a position myself to help others in a way you have helped me! Thank you Eric!

I am writing to share my experience with the support and help Project Headspace and Timing provided me to assist with helping my friend and fellow Veteran I served with. In the fall of 2022 I began to notice some strange social media posts by a friend of mine. I had fallen out of touch with him over the last year or so because he was deployed and we lived a little ways apart. I knew he had recently returned home from his deployment so I figured he was dealing with the same issues most of us do when you get home from a combat tour. I immediately reached out to him to find out what was going on. During this conversation I learned he was going through a divorce with his wife and had begun down a dark path of substance abuse with alcohol. Due to these events, he ended up in some legal trouble as well. His life was spiraling out of control quickly. I stayed in constant contact with him over the next week or so but noticed a pattern of odd behavior and him not being forthright with me. I quickly realized I couldn't provide him the help he needed and if he was going to make it out of this I needed some help. That's when I turned to Eric at Project Headspace and Timing. Eric was quick to answer my phone call and listen to my concerns about my friend. Eric immediately reached out to my friend and was contacting him at least once a day if not more. Then, one morning I woke up to a very dark and cryptic text from my friend. I called him immediately and couldn't get ahold of him. I grew concerned and fearful something bad had happened. I called Eric immediately and both him and I began doing whatever we could to get ahold of him. Hours went by and we had no success. We finally learned he was in a hospital in Northern Illinois. Eric knew that releasing him wasn't what was best and helped me convince him to go to treatment. Eric coordinated everything from that point forward — dealing with insurance and getting my friend a ride directly from the hospital to treatment which was in a completely different state. Eric made all this happen within a couple hours. My friend is alive today because of Eric and his organization Project Headspace and Timing. Not only is he alive but he is putting his life back together. He is moving in the right direction and is sober and discovering the joy life has to offer once again. If it wasn't for Eric and Project Headspace and Timing my friend would be a memory and instead, we still have the opportunity to create memories together.
