Spiritually-Based, Structured, Sober, Supportive Residences 
(Non-Denominational)

 

 
Spiritual Journey

We believe that we used mood-altering substances (alcohol, drugs, food, sex, gambling, money, television, relationships, sleep, etc. ) because we wanted to change the way we felt. Eventually, these substances controlled us and - in an effort to gain power and control over our out of control lives - we fought harder to deny the unmanageability we were facing.

We found the solution…


First we had to admit that we are not God, and we had to quit trying to fix, manage and control everything and everyone we came in contact with. We have discovered that surrendering our will to a loving God is not a sign of weakness. In contrast, with God as the Director of our life, our recovery is on solid ground. Spiritual twelve step principles such as: Honesty, Hope, Faith, Courage, Integrity, Willingness, Humility, Brotherly Love, Perseverance, Discipline, Awareness of God and Service to Man and the Community act as our compass in life. Today, daily decisions are based on these spiritual principles. We have witnessed hundreds of people return from the gates of despair and share life-changing testimonies. It is our hope that you too will discover the peace, serenity and inner joy that awaits you. Live for today, learn from yesterday and hope for tomorrow.
