I am so thankful for this program. I came from an alcoholic family. Both of my parents were alcoholic. I started drinking and using drugs at the age of 12. I went to prison and tried several other treatment programs, they didn’t work. I am so thankful that today, I am clean and sober. I will live my life helping and supporting Helping Hands Women's Outreach Ministries and the Emotional Healing Class. I thank God for all of the wonderful people I’ve met in this program. They have become family to me.

Since taking this class, I have a new life! I have learned how to love myself and others. I have learned to forgive others because God is a forgiving God. God has put positive people in my life. My future plans are to continue working with my sponsor, keep going to church, and continue working on my relationship with my God.

I give thanks to Jesus! I have had a long journey with drugs and other issues which lead me to prison. That was then, today I am recovering and giving back to the community, working and sharing my success stories to other transitioning women. When I left prison, I knew what I needed most in my life. I needed God and I needed a “Man.” God has supplied my needs. Today, I am in church. I am a married woman with my own business. Also, God has restored my relationship with my family! Thank You Jesus and the wonderful people of this program!

Participating in this group has been so helpful. I have been so wrapped in my own problems that I forget there are so many others who need help. In this group, I have found others who are walking in my shoes. I am thankful for all the support they give me.
