ON APRIL 10, 2024, WE CELEBRATED THE 9 YEAR OPENING OF CAME TO BELIEVE. OVER THE LAST YEAR, 24 OF THE 26 MEN WHO WERE AT CAME TO BELIEVE MAINTAINED SOBRIETY. OUR GUYS CONTINUE TO HAVE AN EXTRAORDINARY SUCCESS RATE. OUR VAST ALUMNI ALSO CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN SOBRIETY AT A REMARKABLE RATE. OBVIOUSLY THESE OUTCOMES DON'T MATERIALIZE OUT OF THIN AIR. THE EFFORT, DEDICATION AND WILLINGNESS OF OUR GUYS, IS THE BIGGEST FACTOR IN THEIR SUCCESS. WE ARE DEADLY SERIOUS ABOUT ADDICTION AND RECOVERY, AND DEMAND THAT OUR GUYS WORK A GOOD PROGRAM. I BELIEVE A HUGE FACTOR IS THAT EVERYTHING WE DO THERE IS DONE IN AN INTENTIONAL FAMILY ATMOSPHERE. SO MANY CONTRIBUTE TO THE WELL BEING AND ESTEEM BUILDING OF OUR GUYS. THANKFULLY WE HAVE A HUGE NUMBER OF SOBER ALUMNI, WHO HELP INTEGRATE OUR NEW GUYS INTO OUR HUGE FAMILY LIKE FELLOWSHIP. MANY NON ALUMNI ALSO MAKE HUGE CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE BETTERMENT OF OUR GUYS. SOME OF THOSE INCLUDE MY FANTASTIC SPONSEES, MY FANTASTIC SPONSOR, AND AN INCREDIBLE CREW OF AMAZING PEOPLE FROM CHRIST FELLOWSHIP IN PALM BEACH GARDEN. THEY ALL CONTRIBUTE TO MAKE THE GUYS FEEL WANTED AND LOVED. SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE FROM CHURCH INCLUDE MY SISTER SANDY, WHO ALWAYS COOKS FOR OUR LARGE EVENTS. PAM AND BOBBY TUCKER, MARILYN AND JIM WILLIAMS, BOB AND JOLYNN HANSEN, JUST TO NAME A FEW. THE SIGNIFICANT POSITIVE IMPACT THEY HAVE ON THE GUYS IS IMMEASURABLE. AS MY SISTER SANDY AND I HAVE LOST OUR BROTHER JEFF AND OUR FATHER TO THIS DISEASE, WE FULLY KNOW THE OUTCOME IF THE GUYS DON'T GET THE HELP THEY NEED AND DESERVE. SOMEHOW, WE ALWAYS GET GREAT GUYS AT CAME TO BELIEVE. IM ALWAYS BEYOND PROUD OF THE GUYS, THEY BECOME FAMILY TO US. THERE ARE NO WORDS TO PROPERLY EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE FOR ALL OF OUR SUPPORTERS SELFLESS CONTRIBUTIONS. EVEN THOUGH WE ALL DO OUR BEST, THE OUTCOMES CONTINUE TO BE UNWORLDLY. "THE HAND OF GOD IS UPON CAME TO BELIEVE".
