“The stuff that they teach you here isn’t just for recovery. Jordan knows that he’s been given a second chance. A second chance at life. A second chance at being himself. A second chance at being a good partner and father.

He knew he needed Guiding Light. “I’ve seen people come through this program and really succeed. I’ve seen the people they were before they came in and the people they were when they came out. I wanted what they had.” He came to Guiding Light in September 2022. “It’s amazing.

They motivate us to push ourselves to live outside the box that we usually live in.”
