From mandated to motivated—see how targeted support changes lives
“I came in on probation, skeptical and tired. The scholarship support helped me stay, work, and finally choose sobriety daily.“
When I arrived at the house in Omaha, I was focused on checking a box, not changing. Staff and peers pushed me to show up—meetings, chores, and honest conversations. The Foundation covered transportation to appointments and helped me keep a job interview I would’ve missed. After a few weeks, I stopped blaming everyone else and started paying my bills, calling my sponsor, and planning for self-pay. Today, I’m steady, employed, and committed to recovery, one day at a time, and to sober living testimonials.
“I didn’t think structure mattered, but the routines and accountability gave me pride, patience, and real direction in my life.“
This is one of the addiction recovery success stories people don’t always see. I started as a voucher resident, angry and ready to leave. The team treated me with respect, explained expectations, and helped me line up work so I could earn my next step. With peer support and weekly house check-ins, I learned how to handle triggers without running. When I chose to stay and pay my way, my confidence grew. Now I mentor newer guys and protect my sobriety daily.
“Transportation help got mee to meetings and court, and the job coaching showed me I could rebuild from scratch again. “
I came to recovery with no car, little money, and a lot of shame. The Foundation helped with rides so I could meet probation requirements and stay connected to AA. That consistency kept me from drifting back to old choices. When my family called, they heard hope in my voice again. If you’re reading these sober living testimonials, know that support can be the turning point for men ready to do the work.
