Happy Friday, friends and family! 🎉 It's a great day to celebrate another success story. Join us in congratulating our most recent graduate Teresa M., as she joins Phase 2!

"I was full of insecurities and doubt," Teresa says, as she describes her active addiction. "A constant unsettling fear sickened my spirit and polluted my being down to my soul." Despite her fears, she showed up but most importantly - she stayed... 💙
"I am finally beginning to dream of a future myself. I've began to set and obtain goals. I welcome challenges, knowing my higher power will direct my steps toward what is best for me and those in my life," she says. "I'm learning trust and how to have relationships in new light; how to let go and let God! Words can't express how grateful I am today for where my life is today. Looking back at where I was compared to now is amazing." 🌱
It certainly is and we are blessed to witness it! Keep on keeping on, one day at a time!

Another graduation to celebrate! 🎉 We are so proud of Beth Ann P. for working hard and making a way for herself. It hasn’t always been easy, but she has persevered and found hope for a new way of life. 💙
“Grief and depression completely consumed my life and took me to places I never imagined,” she explains. “I didn’t even recognize myself anymore when I looked in the mirror. To the girl I was then, I forgive you.”
Along the way, the life we live in active addiction takes little pieces of us until there isn’t much left. Recovery restores that brokenness and reconnects us with God in a way we never knew possible.
“As great as the pain still is today, I’m able to be the woman and mother my mom would be so proud of,” Beth Ann says. “I want nothing more than to give my son the loving and sober mommy he deserves.”
As she moves on to Phase II and continues to rebuild, we share in her joy and hope. Congratulations Beth Ann!! This is only the beginning! 🌱

It’s a beautiful day friends and followers! 💙Help us celebrate our most recent graduate, Jamie H. 🎉
Coming from a long history of abuse, addiction, and chronic homelessness, Jamie has defied the odds and crawled her way back from the depths. Joined by her family at graduation, the mood was deep and meaningful – truly an inspiration. ✨
Jamie got to Rea of Hope and hit the ground running, working hard on her GED and becoming a valuable employee, as well as restoring her relationship with her son. She recalls her early moments of recovery, “I never had hope for anything better in life,” she says. “Now I know, and I want others to know, it is possible! I love myself today and I am so grateful for this life,” she beams. “Your scars do not define who you are.”
Jamie moves on to Phase II where she will continue to thrive, not just survive. Congratulations on your new chapter! We are so proud of you! 🌱

July's Girl's Night Out is among one of our favorites of the year! Our dear long time friends from the Charleston Vandalia Rotary Club take time out of their evening and show up with loving hands and hearts, to cook and serve to our women. We prayed, we fellowshipped, and somehow survived the heat wave as well! Thank you again to our dear friends!

🎉Congratulations to our most recent graduate, Beth M. She joins a small group of graduates who have successfully completed our program twice. We are so happy that she found her way back home and put her head down and charged at her recovery at full speed. “I’m grateful for ROH because of the structure and accountability, and that it’s the only abstinence-based program for women in Charleston,” she says. “I knew that it was going to be a lot of work, and I was determined to do things to the best of my ability.” We are very proud of you, Beth – the best is yet to come. 💙
