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.
When Jalen, Brett, Mark, Eric, Craig, and Victor were accepted into the Recovery program, most will tell you their plan was not to spend an extended period of time under the Guiding Light umbrella.
By the time alcohol had really sunk its claws into Doug, he realized he didn’t want to stop drinking – he wanted to stop being caught drinking. He’d been caught a lot throughout his life – drinking before, during and after work and losing job after job.
There is a huge community of support that has grown around Guiding Light over the past decade.
As community need continues to grow, Guiding Light is preparing to welcome eight men recovering from drug and alcohol addiction to its sober-living community, Iron House.
When Victor landed on the doorstep of Guiding Light in February, he hadn’t touched a drop of alcohol in nearly five years – but he was far from sober.
A recent internal survey found that Guiding Light Recovery clients earn an average of $4-$5 more an hour on average from the time they move to Iron House to when they leave.
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.
