Lives are being changed at Bridges to Recovery…
but don’t take our word for it.
We found these testimonies of current B2R residents and past graduates to be remarkable evidence of the work God is doing here in the lives of these women.
“Somewhere between the heartbreak and the hollow, I found comfort in a pill bottle...purpose in a needle...I went from being a daughter, a sister, a friend and a mom to being a silhouette, a ghost in daylight...But there was a flicker of hope...I realized my story wasn't over...It was God, He was leaving that 99 to come rescue me!”
— Rikki
“Before I came to Bridges to Recovery, I felt lost and overwhelmed... The compassionate and professional staff welcomed me...offering a safe and supportive environment where I could begin to heal. Coming into the home helped me become the responsible adult, mother, daughter and grandmother I couldn't be prior to coming to the home...it showed me there was people who cared and loved me like Jesus does.”
— Amanda
“"Y'all helped me get myself back. You helped my daughter get her mother back. I will forever be grateful for the work you are doing."
— Gwen
“Bridges to Recovery…worked closely with me to help with making goals and obtaining them. Through the classes offered I learned new skills and how to cope with life on life's terms. I have been able to heal from years of substance abuse with therapy and through the 12 steps...I was able to grow my relationship with God, the other women in the program, and staff members in the home. I rely on these things for support now...I came into this program hopeless, but now I have hope for a future.”

“Coming to B2R, I was spiritually broken. I was willing to receive the help I needed but lost most of my hope and faith. The staff and women at B2R welcomed me with open arms. They all believed in me when I couldn't, and for that, I will forever be grateful. I live a full and productive life now, all in part of the love and mercy that was shown and given to me by everyone at B2R”

“Before coming here I didn't have my birth certificate, driver's license, ID, social security card. Not only has Bridges to Recovery helped me obtain all that, they helped me to get a job which allowed me to get a car. Bridges to Recovery has changed my life for the better. My life is actually worth living.”

“Coming to Bridges to Recovery changed my life completely. I learned to love myself and was able to build my faith. I’ve found myself to be more grateful for the many blessings God has given me. He’s shown me there are amazing people out there who truly care and won’t judge me for my past mistakes. The fact that they actually believed in me is what got me to where I am today. I am grateful, thankful and blessed to have the women at B2R in my life.”
