ARM - Adult Rehabilitation Ministry

ARM - Adult Rehabilitation Ministry We seek to evangelize and disciple chemically dependent people who will in turn, evangelize. The late Pastor Emeritus C.B.T.
(31)

The Adult Rehabilitation Ministry (ARM) is a 501(c)(3) organization that began in 1989 as part of the Outreach Ministry of the Golden Gate Missionary Baptist Church to fill a need within the Dallas/Ft. Worth area to help individuals struggling with chemical abuse who were unable to help themselves. Smith envisioned a ministry that would meet the needs of chemically addicted men through a faith-bas

ed recovery program. The recovery ministry includes narcotics anonymous and alcoholic anonymous (NA/AA) support meetings, biblical counseling, as well as group and individual sessions. The program is six months to one year with participants residing in houses on the campus of Golden Gate and includes a daily curriculum administered by the program director.

We observe National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month each July to bring awareness to the unique struggles that racial and ethnic minority communities face regarding mental illness in the United States. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health encourages state, tribal, and local leaders, community-based organizations, faith leaders, healthcare providers and individuals to educate their communities regarding mental health stigma. ~Thetimesweekly

Thanks Bussey, I finally got in on the virtual meeting, looking forward for the next one
CELEBRATING 15YRS CLEAN & SOBER, THANKS TO GOD, MY HUSBAND James, W.A.R.M. (Women Adult Rehabilitation Ministry) My CHURCH FAMILY, & MAKING BETTER CHOICES FOR MY LIFE!!!

Never would have made it
Never could have made it, without you
I would have lost it all
But now I see how you were there for me
And I can say
Never would have made it
Never could have made it without you
I would have lost it all
But now I see how you were there for me and I can say
I'm stronger, I'm wiser
I'm better, much better
When I look back over all you brought me through
I can see that you were the one I held on to
And I never, never would have made it
Oh I never could have made it, never could have made it without you
Oh I would have lost it all
Oh but now I see how you were there for me
I never, never would have made it
No, I never, never could have made it without you
I would have lost my mind a long time ago
If it had not been for you
I am stronger, I am stronger
I am wiser, now I'm better
So much better
I made it through my storm
And my test because you were there
To carry me through my mess
I am stronger, I am stronger
I am wiser, I am wiser
I am better, I am better
Anybody better, I am better
I can stand here and tell you
I made it
Anybody out there that you made it
I am stronger, I am stronger
I am wiser, I am wiser
I am better, I am better
Much better, I am better
I made it, I made it
I made it, I made it
I made it, I made it
I made it, I made it
Never would have made it, never would have made it
Never could have made it, never could have made it without you
I would have lost my mind
I would have gave up
But you were right there
You were right there
I never, never would have made it
Oh I never, never could have made it without you
Somebody just need to testify to someone next to 'em
Tell 'em I am stronger
I am wiser
I am better, much better
When I look back over what he brought me through
I realize I made it because I had you to hold on to
Now I am stronger
Now I am wiser
I am better, so much better
I made it
Is there anybody in this house other than me that can
Declare that you made it
Tell your neighbor
Never would have made it, never would have made it
Tell 'em never could have made it, never could have made it without you
I wish I had some help here
I wish I had just two or three people
That would just decare it
Never would have made it, never would have made it
Never could have made it, never could have made it without you
I just, I just love to encourage myself
Sometimes I just look in the mirror and say
I am stronger
I am wiser
I am better, so much better
When I look back over what he brought me through
I realize I made it because I had you to hold on to
But I never would have made it
I never could have made it without you
Yeah yeah yeah
Oh I, good God almighty
Never would have made it, never would have made it
Never could have made it, never could have made it without you
Sing it one more time
All I need is it one more time
Everybody sing with me
Never would have made it
Never could have made it without you
This week was very eventful. We presented our S.A.F.E. (Spirituality and Faith Empowers) Training with Dr. Gloria Morrow on Monday and Tuesday hosted at ARM - Adult Rehabilitation Ministry. This training was geared towards both the faith and mental health communities to provide strategies for both. It was a very enlightening and inspiring event.

I started out at an early age of 9 drinking beer, escalated to other things as I got older, my life was already spiraling down hill, my last drug was crack co***ne. Mom worked at night while my brothers and sisters call themselves watching me. I was having s*x and drinking got pregnant at 16 life was over as I knew it. I became homeless staying with all kind of guys. With my schemes I thought I had it all together got knocked in the head I just ran right into a wall, literally. That's how drunk I was I was knocked out lay there in the snow for God knows how long. I was then introduced to rock co***ne, that they call crack. My own brother turn me out. My mother thought it was my boyfriend I tried to explain to her it wasn't. She hated him, my 3rd baby daddy. You see by then I had 3 kids that was going through my addiction with me. They were kind of young and I kept them busy playing, reading or something just to keep them busy while I did my drugs. My family came and took my children before CPS did... but that didn't stop me, Ima do my drugs right, homeless, was still receiving that check though from Social Service, it was ona card so I didn't hafta worry bout no address, that's how I supported my habit for a while. When that check stop I started to pr******te... that's when I started going to jail. I had boyfriends while I was prostituting they didn't seem to care, they were homeless with me, long as I brought something back for them. I moved to Delaware into a Salvation Army got clean for a while, thought I was ready to leave that, huh.. with a man no doubt.. thought I had this thing called recovery, I stayed clean for at least 18 months. I was going to meetings and everything... trying to stay clean but of course I started tricking again, for money this time. I started sneaking crack into the house while my boyfriend was at work, one of the guys I was seeing was selling crack. Stop going to meetings.
We moved to Dallas Texas in 2000 I got pregnant my fourth child, yes I was still doing drugs and tricking, found some new stuff and things, okay did that for a little while until I had the baby thank God she look just like him and that's not funny. You know what I've been through hell and back... we had been living in a motel room and I acted like I was going to meetings and when I came back to the room he was getting high with some guy, I was like where's mine so that was the end of my" 18 months". He continued working to keep a roof over our heads as well as drugs in our system... evidently he didn't care about the baby I was carrying either...so my lil happy ass kept on smoking, drinking, and tricking till one day I got caught with the manager's boyfriend in their room...
Nevertheless we got put out pregnant and all. So we went to live with his cousin until I had the baby. Later I got an apartment on Section 8 lost it because of drugs tricking and other stuff that was going on. Police even was bringing me home. Until one day my husband because we got married in a shelter decided he and another guy wanted to beat up one of my tricks after I left the house. He called the police took my husband and my baby was taken CPS... Homeless again living wherever we could. I just kept going back and forth back and forth to jail... police they didn't want to see me on the street no more... I was going to see my daughter at CPS but I was still getting high so her aunt, his sister have full custody of my child she is now 19 and I am 58 it's been a long over 40 years God is Good!!!... God has showed me Grace I now have victory over my addiction I have been reunited with all of my children even though I still live in Texas. My oldest boy almost 40 is married my second child a daughter 35 live here with me in Texas for two yrs and now has her own place with four of her six children, my youngest boy 30 still in Baltimore with his father and my youngest daughter now 19 graduated last year and now works she is still with her aunt whom she calls mother...none even smoke or drink...imagine that...lol.... I am now a proud grandmother of 15 grandchildren including my now husband in which I've been married to for 10 years now coming up on 11 in Dec. we got together in 13 yrs ago in 2006 when my journey began with God head of my household.....
Amen

Now if I forgot to add some things I'll mention them when it comes to mind...
Thank you all for reading and your understanding❤❤❤❤ to God be the glory...
He is my Sponsor!!!
