We proudly celebrate Joe Azure and an incredible milestone, 8 years of continuous sobriety.

Eight years ago, Joe came to us as a guest feeling defeated, worn down, and ready for real change. He didn’t just ask for help, he sought the solution. While staying at our MHA Sober Lodge in Arizona, Joe committed fully to the work, the process, and the path of recovery.

But Joe didn’t stop there.

Almost immediately, he stepped into service, making sure guests got to work, made it to appointments, attended meetings, and stayed connected. He became someone others could rely on, someone who showed up, and someone who led by example. Joe was a pillar in the early days of our program, and his impact is still felt today.
Eight years later, Joe continues to walk in purpose. He remains a consistent and trusted presence within the MHA Sober Living Program, offering mentorship, strength, and support. He is a brother, a relative, a shoulder to lean on, and a leader, now serving his own community through the Parshall Resource Center in Parshall.

Joe’s journey is a powerful reminder that recovery is not just about staying sober, it’s about giving back, lifting others up, and living in service.
Congratulations,

Joe. Your walk inspires us, your service matters, and your story continues to give hope. 👊❤️

MHASL | Honoring the Buffalo. Honoring Our People.

MHA Sober Living (MHASL) is deeply thankful for the opportunity to work alongside Hans Creek Buffalo Company in Twin Buttes—a partnership grounded in culture, respect, and healing. The buffalo is not just food; it is a relative, a provider, and a living symbol of who we are as a people and as a Nation.

Through this relationship, our MHASL recovery coaches, peer supports and guests have been able to walk beside individuals in recovery in a meaningful, hands-on way over the years. Being welcomed to participate buffalo kills, butchering process and handling of the buffalo is a powerful cultural teaching—one that instills humility, patience, responsibility, and teamwork. These experiences reconnect our people to ancestral ways while reinforcing accountability and purpose in recovery.

We are especially grateful for the donation of buffalo, which nourishes our homes and our community. This is more than sustenance—it is medicine. It strengthens cultural identity, restores connection, and supports recovery through tradition, belonging, and shared work.

At MHASL, we believe healing happens when culture leads. We thank Hans Creek Buffalo Company for standing with our people, honoring the buffalo, and helping us build recovery rooted in tradition, relationship, and respect. 🦬

Activity in our communities — our segment sober living homes and alum always answer the call.

Every opportunity to serve is an opportunity to be asked, “How did you do it?”
An opportunity for someone to witness that change is possible.
An opportunity to show that recovery creates limitless ways to give back.

Service to our communities is one of the greatest gifts sobriety provides — and when the call comes, we always answer.

Thank you to the Sahnish Women’s Lodge, Glowing Eagle Lodge in Parshall, and Leads the White Horse Lodge for stepping up to help the Parshall and White Shield communities celebrate Christmas.

Merry Christmas, and thank you for allowing us to be of service. ❤️🎄

Please help us congratulate Krystal Azure! 🎉🚗

Today, Krystal—one of our senior members at Inaani Lodge—reached a huge milestone by earning her driver’s license. This accomplishment is about so much more than driving; it represents independence, responsibility, and the confidence that comes from staying committed to personal growth.

Krystal has consistently shown dedication, resilience, and leadership within our program, and this achievement is a reflection of the hard work she puts in every day. Gaining her license opens new doors and creates new opportunities, and we are proud to stand beside her as she continues moving forward.

Congratulations, Krystal! Keep believing in yourself and trusting the process—great things are ahead. 👏💙

Love seeing that energy and commitment. Keep leading the way!

Dr. Bob Smith, spoke about humility as a core necessity for recovery—not a personality trait, but a daily practice.

🔹 Humility is the foundation of recovery

Dr. Bob often said that humility is the foundation principle of the program.
Without it, the program doesn’t work—because humility is what allows honesty, teachability, and reliance on something greater than self.

🔹 Humility is action, not words

For Dr. Bob, humility wasn’t about thinking less of yourself, but about:

Being honest about your limitations

Being willing to take direction

Being willing to serve others

Admitting you don’t have all the answers

He believed recovery fails when pride blocks growth.

🔹 Addiction is rooted in pride and self-reliance

Dr. Bob consistently taught that addiction is driven by:

Self-will

Ego

The belief that “I can manage this on my own”

Humility breaks that cycle by replacing self-reliance with dependence on a Higher Power and the program.

🔹 Practice humility daily

He warned that humility isn’t something you “achieve” once.
It must be practiced daily, especially when things are going well—because success is often when ego sneaks back in.

🔹 Service keeps us humble

Dr. Bob strongly believed that helping others was one of the best safeguards against relapse. Service:

Keeps perspective

Reduces self-centeredness

Reinforces gratitude

“When all else fails, work with another alcoholic.” — Dr. Bob

In short:
For Dr. Bob, humility meant honest self-assessment, willingness to follow direction, reliance on a Higher Power, and service to others. Without humility, sobriety becomes fragile.

Help us celebrate Travis from our Glowing Eagle House in Parshall on reaching 3 YEARS of continuous sobriety!

Three years is more than time passed — it’s proof of strength, patience, and a commitment to becoming the best version of yourself. Travis continues to be an example of quiet resilience in our program, showing what happens when a person keeps showing up, stays honest, and trusts the path laid out for them.

In his words;

Patience is the key, a true virtue given to us by Creator. In sobriety, every step forward no matter how small opens the door to blessings we never imagined. Stay steady, stay humble, and trust the process. Only good things happen in sobriety. 👊❤️‼️

We’re proud of you, Travis. Keep going. Your journey inspires the brothers around you and strengthens the spirit of Glowing Eagle and MHA Sober Living as a whole

🧡🙏 From Fort Berthold to Bismarck — Gratitude All Around 🙏🧡

This Thanksgiving, our MHA Sober Living family was blessed to celebrate twice — once in White Shield with our segment houses, and at the same time in Bismarck with our off-rez houses.

Two tables, two communities, one program… one family.

We’re so thankful for the ability to gather, share a meal, and stand together in gratitude and fellowship. Moments like these remind us why we do this work, healing happens when people feel connected, supported, and seen.

To everyone who cooked, served, showed up, or simply sat down with us: thank you. Your presence matters. Your recovery matters. You matter.

From MHA Sober Living Program to all of you — Happy Thanksgiving. 🧡🦃
Let’s keep walking this journey together, one day at a time.

🎉🚗 Big Congratulations to Eddie Fox! 🚗🎉

Please help us celebrate Eddie Fox, one of our dedicated House Managers at Glowing Eagle in Parshall, on a huge personal milestone — he got himself a new car!

Moments like this are what recovery is all about: watching our people rise, rebuild, and enjoy the rewards of consistent hard work and sober living. Eddie shows up for his house, his community, and most importantly, for himself.

His boss, Ed Bracklin, shared it best:

“Another one of our sober living guys letting the promises work. Eddy F got himself a ride today.”

We’re proud of you Eddie — keep pushing forward, keep stacking wins, and keep inspiring those around you. The promises are real, and you’re living proof.

MHA Sober Living Program,
Where growth, stability and community turn into real-life victories.

MHA Sober Living Program — Community Safety Update

Today, the MHA Public Safety Division of Drug Enforcement, alongside their incredible K-9 Unit, conducted walk-throughs in all of our segment Sober Living Program houses. Their presence wasn’t just about enforcement, it was about protection, partnership, and community strength.

At MHA Sober Living Program, our mission is to provide a safe, stable, and truly drug- and alcohol-free environment for every guest, staff member, and surrounding community. This effort takes all of us, and we are proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our MHA Drug Task Force, working together to keep our homes healthy, accountable, and focused on recovery.

We want to extend our sincere gratitude to MHA Public Safety for their professionalism, respect, and ongoing commitment to the wellbeing of our people. Their support reinforces what we already know:

When the community works together, recovery grows stronger.
When we protect our homes, we protect our future.

Thank you to our staff, our guests, our leaders, and our partners in Public Safety for helping us build a safer, healthier MHA Nation, one house, one day, one choice at a time.

🌟 Community in Action: Glowing Eagle Lodge 🌟

Today, our Glowing Eagle House in Parshall spent the day doing something truly powerful — giving back.

There’s something profoundly beautiful about watching individuals who once struggled, who once took, now choosing to give their time, their hands, and their hearts to the very community that supported them.

This is what recovery looks like.
This is what growth looks like.
This is what healing in motion looks like.

We are incredibly proud of these individuals for stepping forward, showing up, and proving that transformation is possible. Their actions today remind us that when you lift yourself up, you gain the strength to lift others too.

🌟 MHA Sober Living Program — Celebrating 4 Years of Sobriety for Jared “Jay Rizz” Russell! 🌟

We here at MHA Sober Living Program would like to congratulate our alumnus and one of our original, foundation-building house managers, Jared “Jay Rizz” Russell, on 4 years of continuous sobriety.

Jay Rizz played a major role in helping shape MHASL into what it is today. His leadership, humor, honesty, and willingness to serve made him one of the true OGs of our program. Today, he remains active in his recovery and continues giving back to others through his work with Prairie Recovery Center—a testament to the man he has become.

✨ In Jay Rizz’s Own Words:
“Four years ago on November 18th, 2021 I was afraid, lost and alone. So I checked myself into treatment. While in treatment I had a profound realization that there was a better way of life. After treatment I went to Sober Living, the MHA Sober Living Program to be exact. There I found the program of recovery and submitted myself to an honest program. I learned to love myself, I learned to love others, I learned the fact that I am the problem. Today, I attempt to live my life to the fullest and practice what I've learned in the program of recovery and continue to help others like others whom helped me. Thank you MHA Sober Living Program for saving my life.”

Jared’s story is a powerful reminder of what recovery can look like when courage meets commitment, and when a person chooses to rise again.

Please join us in celebrating 4 strong years for Jay Rizz—an example, a leader, and forever part of the MHASL family.

We’re proud of you, brother. Keep going. 💛🙌
