My journey to recovery began on October 22, 2022, at Salvation Harbor Light, where I successfully detoxed after over 40 years of battling alcoholism. I realized that true transformation required more time and support, leading me to transition to Beginning Steps Behavioral Health Treatment Program on November 28, 2022, at 39 days sober. Through structured recovery meetings and community living, I developed self-awareness and deepened my commitment to healing.
My dedication led me to serve as a house monitor, where I supported others facing fear, doubt, and uncertainty—encouraging them toward a future filled with hope and confidence. In March 2024, my time in the housing program ended, but my recovery continued. I now actively attend outpatient treatment and recovery meetings, while volunteering with my church community.
