TESTIMONIES

Meagan, 26
California
Life for me was always a struggle from the very beginning. I was constantly in chaos.
I was born drug addicted, was in abusive foster homes, was sexually abused and
harassed for years which led to cutting and suicide attempts. I always felt worthless
and not good enough and I had accepted that as a way of life. Following the suicide
of a family member, I began snorting crystal meth daily for over 4 years. I brought so many years of baggage and hurt and brokenness into that addiction and I was reckless.
I decided to start therapy and in that process my therapist told me about a program
I should consider. She knew I was still using daily and encouraged me to go.
I brushed it off. After my own suicide attempt that cost me several stitches and a nasty scar on my wrist, I realized I didn’t value my life and that needed to change.
I entered a rehab on November 2016. I stayed for 13 months exactly.
I broke down so many walls and had so much healing. The love of Jesus I experienced was indescribable. Because of Him I have had complete reconciliation with my family.
I decided to leave California for a fresh start and I now live in Arizona.
I just celebrated 28 months clean! I have a new life here and I am free.
For the first time ever in my entire life I am truly happy. Recovery is possible if you want it bad enough and with Jesus, anything is possible. I am loved. I am valued.
And I have worth, so do you.

Jose, 56
New Jersey
My life revolved around alcohol
and my friends. Thinking that nothing else mattered I did not listen to
people when they encourage me to change my life style.
In my 20th birthday I had diving accident that left me a quadriplegic for over a
year and half and doctors said that I would never walk again.
Drugs and alcohol almost took my life.
After I cried out to the Lord for mercy, and I was able to leave the hospital with crutches and wheel chair. I started to seek different counseling groups in order to get
emotionally stronger. I also knew that I needed to get l closer to the
Lord to be able to get spiritually stronger.
The stronger I get spiritually and emotionally, the stronger I'm physically.

Jennifer
Arizona
My name is Jennifer and I am clean and sober 6 and a half years after
a 30 year addiction. It is by the grace and love of Jesus that I have been
able to completely change my life.
Recovery is not just about my sobriety to me. It is about whole heart healing.
I have been working a program and will continue to work a program for the rest of my life. I look forward to learning something new each day. I am currently working my dream job, in a faith based women's homeless shelter.
I work with moms and oversee a
children's ministry program. I get to give back every day.
You cant keep what you don't give away. My addiction
affected everyone around me,
I make sure my recovery does too.
