My Journey

This journey to sobriety is a roller coaster. I've done so much damage to myself and others it's difficult to believe I can really move ahead with my life. But here I am, in this program, catching glimpses of hope and peace. Learning to love myself even in the midst of so many struggles. I am beginning to recognize that this is a lifelong journey of faith and living responsibly. Thank you all for your prayers. One day at a time, I'm becoming whole and free. I appreciate everyone who makes this place possible for me to be on this journey.

Work Therapy Program

While our students spend part of their day in chapel, individual studies, and group classes, they also participate in our work therapy program. Work can be anything from mowing lawns, being in our kitchen, clerical and janitorial work, or support for various community events and projects. By including work in the program structure, students learn a positive work ethic and the value of community service.
