Recovery Stories From St. Christopher's Alumni

The best testament to the effectiveness of addiction treatment are the men who came through St. Christopher's, are still sober, and have built lives they are proud of.

The stories on this page are theirs. They are told in their own words, about their own experiences. Recovery is not a clean narrative. These stories reflect that. And they reflect that no matter how far down the scale a man has gone, recovery is always possible.

Stories of Recovery From St. Christopher's Clients & Families

Recovery looks different from the inside than it does from the outside. That is why we share stories from both the men who went through our programs and the families who supported them through it. Both perspectives matter. Both are worth hearing.

A Note to Families Reading These Stories

If you are a parent, spouse, sibling, or child of someone struggling with addiction, the family stories on this page are written for you specifically. The fear and confusion and grief that comes with loving someone in active addiction can make it feel like you are completely alone in what you are going through.

You are not. The families who shared their stories here were in the same place. What they found on the other side of that experience, imperfect and hard-won as it is, is worth knowing about.

If you are ready to take the next step, or just need to talk to someone who understands what you are navigating, our team is here.
