"My clean date is September 17, 2019. I came to the Courage House in September of 2019 because I knew if I kept living the lifestyle of drinking and drugging, I would soon be in jail AGAIN, or even worse, I was going to die. I have been an addict and alcoholic for over 30 years. I tried every known method to try and drink and drugs successfully, but I always ended up with the same results…. homeless, penniless, institutionalized, hospitalized, or in jail. I had been to 11 other rehabs, halfway houses, detox centers, and treatment centers, but I would only stay clean and sober for a few weeks at the most, and I was miserable the whole time. When I found the Courage House, I thought it would be just another place to dry me out for a few weeks, but something happened to me that I didn’t expect, and that was when I found some people who actually cared about my wellbeing. I wasn’t treated like an inmate, a social piranha, or a low-life drug addict/alcoholic. The Courage House took me by the hand and walked me through their program. They explained every step of the process, they had patience and understanding, and most of all they loved me until I could love myself. The Courage House has changed my life in the most positive ways. Since I became a resident of the Courage House, I went back to college and received my certification as a Substance Abuse Counselor and Peer Recovery Coach, and I will soon have my bachelor's degree in social work. The Courage House saved my life; it gave me a sense of pride, self-worth, and purpose in life. The Courage House changed my life so much that I am not just a resident after two years but now the Director of all operations. If you or someone you know need help with a drug or alcohol addiction, please call us. What have you got to lose? "If you’re not happy with your recovery within 30 days, then we will gladly refund your misery back to you." -Mark Storms Courage House Director/Owner

"My sobriety date is November 30, 2015. I had been battling my drug addiction for 13 years. I had been in and out of jail, work release, and prison. When I came to Courage in April 2017. I wasn't sure if this was what I wanted to do. I had just been released from Branchville Correctional Facility, where I participated in the "T/C" Therapeutic Community. I wasn't sure I wanted to do another year of the same thing I had just done. After serious thought, I realized I might need to do this again. This will be the "real world". It's one thing doing it while incarcerated, but now It gets real, you're influenced by old friends, family, and life. Now, the ball is entirely in your court. You either want it or you want to just get by. Coming to Courage was one of the best choices I could have made. I started working the 12 steps and built a recovery family network at Courage and in the meeting rooms of the fellowships. I began my new way of living clean and sober. I graduated from Courage on April 10, 2018. I continue to stay in contact with the family that I made."-Jarod Willis

“My clean date is August 31, 2017. Before, I was in and out of jail & prison. Repeating it all over and over. I was hooked on Meth, Alcohol, and anything else I could handle. After a long road, I found myself locked up, it was then that I found Courage. I began my journey on October 3, 2017. I had been locked up for a while and I wanted out. So, I went to Courage. Once there, I learned how to deal with the world correctly. I started a 12-step program and worked the steps. Now, I live by it. I graduated from Courage on July 3, 2018. I am still clean and have more peace in my life than ever. All thanks to Courage, My new family.” -Kyle Jones
