Justin's Story

My life prior to my intake at Simon House was completely unmanageable and full of turmoil.  At this time in my life, I couldn’t keep steady employment, lost a lot of important relationships and the trust of my family and close friends. During this time I was struggling with my mental health, all because of my addiction to drugs and alcohol. 

Since coming to Simon House, I was able to learn structure and routine which keeps me happy and motivated to reach my goals and potential. I have started to mend broken relationships and have stronger friendships with the brothers here at Simon House. I now have the strength and support from the Simon House Staff and brotherhood to be accountable for myself in my recovery. I feel empowered to keep pushing towards a better future and a better me. 

Once my program at Simon House is successfully completed, maintaining my sobriety is the key factor to have strong and healthy relationships with others and to be the best father/son/brother I can be for my family. Taking care of myself and my health, in general, will make me strive for a better future no matter how hard life can get. I now recognize that I am a fighter and will never quit to reach my potential and goals in life.
