08/31/2025

Some of the Healing Hearts Lodge residents, staff and alumni had the opportunity to participate in a spiritual retreat in the Black Hills in South Dakota this weekend.

What a gift it was to see all the absolutely genuine smiling faces throughout the weekend, hear all their laughs, see the gratitude in their eyes and watch them enjoy life, sober. ❤️

We are so excited for so many of our current residents and alumni (some not pictured) to be enrolling themselves in school this fall semester!

Whether it’s for their GED, college or universities, first time students or returning students we are so excited to see what unfolds for them this upcoming year and all the learning and growing that will be happening as a result of putting their recovery first!

Way to go ladies!

Congratulations to Nicole on obtaining her Drivers License today!! Recovery allows us to set goals for ourselves we could never really put effort into before. We get to build a foundation for recovery while also knocking those goals down one at a time and become more independent as time passes. Keep working Nicole!

Before the weekend ends we would like to wish Miss Ruth a super happy ONE YEAR SOBER as she celebrated this milestone yesterday!

Ruth wanted nothing to do with anyone when she walked through our doors and she would tell you that. She came to get what she needed and leave no strings attached. She was guarded, skeptical, and most of all, she was afraid. Underneath all of that, there was a fear that many of us face coming into recovery, that we may not make it out of the deep and dark of addiction and alcoholism.

Thankfully, Ruth has a gift of determination and drive. She dove into a 12-step program and as a result found a freedom she could not even fathom existing before. She continued to take action even when she did not want to, and her smile became bigger and more beautiful every day. No more facade, no more false effort, only the outcome of a woman who has discovered exactly who she is. She is all the way in this recovery deal and we could not be happier for her! We love you Ruth. Happy 1️⃣!

“This has by far been an awakening. I had thought all the miserable things in my past were who I was. I came here completely not knowing what was gonna happen. I was just gonna fake it and fulfill my commitment. But something shifted. I seen people I used to use with lives completely different. They looked happy and I wanted that for myself my children nieces and nephews all my family. I have alot of love and respect for everyone at Healing Hearts. It’s been nothing but love am grateful for all the patience and understanding. I'd recommend this place to anyone who has family and wants better for themselves and can't do it on their own. On another note my probation got terminated early I'm attending UTTC for business management and holding down a job.”

We would like to send a super special congratulations out to Janice as she successfully transitioned out of the Healing Hearts Lodge yesterday and into a place of her own!

This is the goal! Everything we do is to assist our women and children in not only building a solid foundation for their recovery, but also to reach a place of self-sufficiency. Janice came in worried and doubtful nearly two years ago, yet she faced each challenge with courage and fortitude she didn’t even know she had. As she walked through 12 steps and surrounded herself with a village of women who were seeking the same thing, she became a radiant role model of what recovery in action looks like.

In the last 18 months she has been one of our house managers, she has helped so many new women enter the lodge and shared her experience with them, identifying with them and giving them a sense of belonging. We will miss her in the hallways, house meetings and in our staff huddles. But we know we will see her around!
Janice, we are so grateful for your service and your recovery! Thank you for all you do and all that you are. Keep doing the work. We love you!

“Healing Hearts 💞

I remember the first day I arrived at the lodge. I was nervous. I didn’t know what to expect. All I knew was that I wanted something different from the chaos. It didn’t take long before I felt at home. Thanks to the amazing women I’ve met here.

I am forever grateful for Healing Hearts. Here is where I was first able to feel at peace. I love the structure and routine. I’ve learned tools here that help me in my everyday life. Such as time management, planning, budgeting, and setting goals.

In my time here I’ve resolved my legal matters tribal and state. Got my license back. Have had stable employment. Which was something I was never able to do. I also start college next week. Have mended relationships with my family and friends. Most of all, I got my daughter back. Being able to hear her laugh, watch her grow into her own person, and have a beautiful relationship with her is more than I could ever ask for.

All of this wouldn’t have been possible without building a relationship with my higher power, my 12 step program and Healing hearts. Thank you ♥️”

We heard a beautiful message last night from Denise about what it used to be like, how 12 step recovery helps her daily, what Healing Hearts role was in it all and what her life is like today! Thank you for your vulnerability and your courage! We love you.

Wishing a wonderful school year to our Healing Hearts Lodge students! We pray for your upcoming education, your growing minds, the teachers that you will meet and the friends you will make!

Here are some of our first day of school pics! We are so blessed to be able to not only reunite moms with their children, but also have a front row seat to the way our mothers show up for their children and the family’s healing, growth, and joy that happens as a result of mom’s recovery.

It is a beautiful day for celebration as we congratulate Healing Hearts Lodge alumnus Caroline on FOUR YEARS of sobriety and recovery from drug and alcohol addiction.

Caroline is one of the original group of residents to ever occupy the Healing Hearts Lodge, many of which are still sober today. She came in thinking she knew everything yet knowing nothing at the same time. After years of drowning in addiction and alcoholism, she finally realized it would only lead to her death, and she wanted to live. Every suggestion given she took. Every structure outlined, she grasped as best she could. She was enveloped in 12 step recovery and as a result she woke up. She discovered a purpose, her true, authentic self and she found a new way to live.

In June 2024, she was hired as the Assistant Supervisor of the Healing Hearts Lodge and the program has spread its wings even further because of the effort, the energy and the compassion she gives to it. Caroline, we are so thankful for you and all that you bring, but most importantly for the example of recovery you are for your family, your friends and your community. We love you! Happy 4️⃣!!

“I never imagined the life I live today! 😭 just a few months into sobriety I was in a meeting and had the overwhelming realization that “I don’t know s***.” From that moment forward everything opened up and I have remained willing to do what I am continuously taught through a 12 step program and by the amazing women in my life!
I had tried every way possible to stay sober on my own and it always ended the same way, today I pray, take suggestions, do for others what so many have done for me, I use my ears, and put one foot in front of the other especially when my feet are heaviest.

One of the most valuable things that I have learned is I can do this but I don’t have to do it on my own. I am forever grateful for my relationship with creator, my mentor, my children, birth family, 12step family, and my healing hearts family! Thank you for my life!

If you’re sick of your own self, reach out! There are so many people who want to help you!🙏🏼

But wait, there’s more! We also get to recognize our sister Linette, Healing Hearts alumnus, who celebrates TWO YEARS of recovery today!

Linette’s lifestyle was one all too familiar to many of us. Beaten down to hopelessness, desparation and defeat, Linette was ready for a change. She took suggestions, put down the fight, and took a program of recovery seriously.

The freedom that came with the actions she was taking was inevitable. She started to experience real peace and genuine joy. She discovered who she truly is and has absolutely embraced the gifts recovery has given her, while maintaining the responsibility of those gifts. We are so excited for her and what is yet to unfold in her life. We love you Linette! Happy TWO to you!

“I’m two years sober today. Two years ago Kaylen Fox, Rose Foote and Dez Bolman all worked together with good road recovery to help begin my Journey of sobriety. I am grateful, thankful and joyful on what my life has become with my renewed Faith and Courage with Gods help.
I am reunited with my son, daughter and grandchildren. My father passed away and if I weren’t on my journey I wouldn’t have been able to honor and respect his wishes.
Each day is a further step way from sitting alone at my table. Now I have all you friends and family in sobriety. Peace and love from me and my doggy, Cowboy!”
