“I had no desire to live. I had no desire to keep going on. I felt like I had reached the end and this was my only light, This was the only place I knew I could call.
This time around, I had to 100% listen and know that there is a purpose and there’s a reason behind everything they ask you to do. I think that’s why I am still sober and clean today.
I am really proud of myself because I was able to do it with all their support.”

Since we decided to get clean a lot of good things happen and they continue to happen every day.”

“By me trying to change my life around and doing the program, along with getting two jobs, those things are what it means to be a father. I’m there for my children, providing for them. We may not have everything, but just us being together, that’s what it means being a father.
Shout out to anyone still out there in the streets struggling. They may not see that there is hope, I’ve been there. If you are in the situation, there is hope!”

“There are some days where I feel like everything is against me, but push and pull.
