“This program has made drastic changes in my life.”
A huge shoutout to Raist for sitting down with us to share his story:
“My life didn’t have a lot of meaning to it. I wasn’t making the right decisions for anything, and I just drank to deal with it.
“I eventually got arrested and lost my job. When I got out of jail, I didn’t have any money or anywhere to go.
"I denied having any addiction for a long time and couldn't lie to myself or anyone else anymore."
It was around this time that Raist joined the program.
“I went in with an open mind and a willingness to just make changes in my life, period. To try to build myself back up. Ever since I’ve been in Step, it just felt like things have started to go better, even since the first couple of weeks.
“One thing I recognized early about Step was that there’s a lot of structure here, which I knew I needed to get everything back in order.
“It worked out really well because every AA meeting I went to, even the outside ones, kind of clicked with me – and kind of helped me to understand things more and just process everything.”
On the changes Raist has seen in his life since coming to Step:
“I’ve seen huge benefits and payoffs in myself and the other residents. I’ve built better habits that I didn’t have in my life before. I went to church for the first time in a long time.
“I want to keep my service work active for the rest of my life because the goal is ultimately to help train and find work for second chance guys or people in sobriety.
“For the first time in a long time I’m hopeful for my future.”
