I've been in /out of recovery for years....after having 7 years of sobriety, I had an 8 day demoralizing relapse. My depression, hopelessness and despair returned. Although I still had a good job, a good supportive family....I knew where I was headed. Jails, Institutions...death!!! By God's mercy....Tim and Lissa showed up on a family members Facebook page. I was able to join Son Shine ministry men's recovery house as the doors were opening. I truly believe God used my knowledge of recovery to help some of the men who came in after me...To watch men (and myself) grow out of despair and hopelessness, to strong, self-reliant, giving individuals....is truly one of the greatest gifts I could ever receive. My inner peace with God has been restored to levels I've never known. My relationships are stronger than ever. I owe so much gratitude to Tim and Lissa for the unselfish work (God's work) that they do, to help the sick and suffering addict/alcoholic everyday...If you're in a place where you feel hopeless....there IS HOPE!!! God loves you...give Son Shine ministries a call... It's the best call I ever made!!!
