After 15 Years Of Homelessness, I Finally Have My Own Home!

By a friend • May 30, 2025

I have up until VERY recently lived in the homeless shelter graduating their Alcohol and Drug Recovery Program! I have been HORRIBLY addicted to alcohol and began homelessness at 22 years old, I am now 35.

So for over a DECADE I was either sleeping on the streets or staying in motels and drinking and doing day labor to afford it .

3 years ago I was lying in a hospital bed with stomach bleeding and I was diagnosed with stage 1 cirrhosis of the liver and was told I wouldn't make it to 36 years old.

I found out about "Project Recovery," which is the program I mentioned earlier, and when I met with the program director, I got on my hands and knees and screamed...

"PLEASE HELP ME, I DON'T WANT TO DIE!!"...

πŸŒΈπŸ’•He helped me off the ground and I was accepted into Project Recovery!πŸŒΈπŸ’•

πŸŒΈπŸ’•8 weeks ago I was accepted into housing after being on a list for two and a half years and I GRADUATED PROJECT RECOVERY THE DAY BEFORE I MOVED INTO MY NEW HOME!!!!πŸŒΈπŸ’•

I was allowed to stay inside during the day and lay in my bed! Provided you do 4 hours of classes EVERY DAY. I have gone through thousands of hours of Recovery and have been Sober for ALMOST two years without a DROP of alcohol!🌸🌸

I finally moved into my new home 2 weeks ago and shelter staff and Jessica, my therapist FULLY FURNISHED MY HOME BASED ON WHAT I POSTED ON PINTEREST!πŸŒΈπŸ’•

I...AM... FINALLY...HOME!!!!
