Congratulations to seven graduates of the Guiding Light Recovery program and Iron House residents for reaching one year of sobriety!
Every few months we celebrate graduates of the Guiding Light Recovery program that reach a year of sobriety. Check it out!
After years in and out of sobriety, Chad describes that period of life as being in “a very dark place” of depression and drug use, including an overdose. A year after arriving at the Guiding Light Recovery program and his life has completely turned around.
Parris got to the point where “enough was enough” and he reached out for help at Guiding Light. He remembers the specific date – January 19 – just as he remembers what he found here: “A lot of structure. A lot of love. Acceptance, wisdom, knowledge. This place made me stand for something. It helped me not only find sobriety but also find myself as a person who I really am, my purpose in life.”
We look for ways to celebrate the movement and transformation of the men who are living a new way in this world. Check out what our One Year Sobriety Celebration is like in the video below. At the end of May, a group of 5 men will each get a chance to share how their lives are different a full year into abstinence-based sobriety and then hammer their name plaque onto a wall with a hundred other men who have achieved the same milestone.
Iron House consists of five buildings of two-bedroom apartments capable of housing over 40 graduated clients of the Guiding Light Recovery program. Recently we gathered together to welcome Chaz and Jerry to their new home.
On January 17th 2023, 8 men of the Guiding Light Recovery program celebrated a year of continuous sobriety.
78% of men who come through Guiding Light Recovery, find employment, and move to Iron House, our sober living apartments in Kentwood, will stay sober over a year.
Kenan’s descent into addiction began when he took his first drink at 14 years old. Although it started out innocently enough, he found alcohol to be a crutch that he couldn’t live without.
Through the guiding light of God’s Spirit, Guiding Light partners with individuals to fulfill their God-given potential through rescue, recovery and re-engagement in the community.
