A New Chapter for Liz: From Addiction to Purpose
"My name is Liz, I’m 62 years old. Before I came to Adult & Teen Challenge, I was addicted to drugs and alcohol for over 20 years. I lost jobs, kids, relationships, and ended up in the system as a violent felon after a domestic violence altercation. I spent time in jail, and when I applied for programs and housing, I was denied because of my charges."
But Adult & Teen Challenge said yes: "That’s been almost a year ago. Since that time, I have rededicated my life to the Lord and learned skills I had been lacking in my addiction. Adult & Teen Challenge provided me with the structure and teachings I needed to deal with relationships, life situations, and more—sober and clear-minded."
Now, Liz is thriving: "Adult & Teen Challenge was a turning point for me and my family. Upon graduation, I have the opportunity to intern with this ministry and continue growing."
