🎉✨ 2 YEARS SOBER ✨🎉

Today we celebrate an incredible milestone 2 years of recovery for one of our dedicated House Managers Brandon BLD! 👏💙

Here’s what he had to say about his recovery journey:

“2years of helping god, & god helping me, recovery has taught me despite how many times you’ve failed & had to restart over that god was with you the entire time. My experience has opened up my heart to helping others like me restore themselves to a life of many possibilities. I thank MHA’s 12 step program for allowing me to grow up & change my outcomes. If I could tell someone who is struggling & battle with a disease that has affected so many of us, lean into every suggestion of trying something that requires change & uncomfortably., when you say yes, you’ll find the person who you missed.”

Recovery is about more than counting days it’s about embracing growth, finding purpose, and becoming someone others can look to for hope. 🌱

Over the past two years, we’ve watched him grow into a leader who serves with compassion and understanding. As a House Manager, he continues to use his lived experience to encourage others, reminding them that change is possible and that no one has to walk this journey alone. 🤝

His story is a powerful reminder that recovery isn’t defined by how many times someone falls it’s defined by the courage to get back up, trust the process, and keep moving forward.

Congratulations on 2 years of recovery! 🥳 Thank you for the leadership, encouragement, and hope you bring to the MHASL community each day. We’re proud of you and grateful to have you as part of our team. Here’s to many more years of growth, service, and recovery! 💙💪

🎉 6 YEARS SOBER 🎉🔥

Today we celebrate an incredible milestone 6 years of recovery for one of our alumni Harry Hopkins! 👏

Here’s what he had to say about his recovery journey:

“SIX YEARS?!?! With every gift of another trip around the sun of Continuous Sobriety, it still amazes me considering where I was when I started this journey. I was so lost, spiritually sick, and stuck in the Cycle Of Insanity that is Alcoholism. That Half A G of Misery had me on the ropes and ready to accept a fate of a slow painful alcoholic death. Fortunately, my Higher Power had other plans for me.

Jail (again), treatment (again), and the gift of desperation led me to The Solution that ultimately saved my life. Working a 12 Step Program of Recovery to the best of my ability with help/guidance of the fellowship.

I will be eternally grateful for and an advocate of the MHA Sober Living Program. Their leadership, guidance, fellowship, and overall vision of helping our people by providing a safe haven in which to (re)build their lives absolutely helped save and change my life.

Today, I get to live a beautiful sober existence free of that urge/obsession to get that next drink. Those are answered prayers and a freaking MIRACLE. Living life on life’s terms isn’t always easy these days, but I always do my best to stay grateful for my blessings, which are too many to count today, and to give everything to my HP.

My empathy and prayers are always with those who are still struggling with alcoholism/addiction. Please know that you are not alone and there are amazing brothers & sisters ready to help and trudge alongside of you. My biggest suggestion is just that, TAKE SUGGESTION. The simplest way I can explain how I did it was I took suggestion and God took/takes care of the rest.

Much appreciation to all that have supported me, and continue to do so, on this journey. I love you all. God is Good.”

Recovery doesn’t end when someone leaves the program it continues to grow through service, gratitude, and living a life that once seemed impossible. As one of our alumni, his journey is a powerful reminder that the foundation built in recovery can continue to strengthen long after the program ends.

Stories like his remind us that hope is real, healing is possible, and no one has to walk this path alone. Every milestone reached becomes a beacon of hope for someone who is just beginning their own journey.

Congratulations on 6 years of recovery! Thank you for continuing to inspire others and for reminding us all that recovery is possible, one day at a time. We are proud to have you as part of the MHASL family and wish you many more years of continued growth and blessings. 💙💪

🎉 6 YEARS SOBER 🎉🔥

Today we celebrate an incredible milestone 6 years of recovery for one of our dedicated Case Managers Laffie Begay! 👏

Here’s what he had to say about his recovery journey:

“Six years ago, I had no direction. Life looked a whole lot different back then. I made plenty of mistakes, burned a lot of bridges, and definitely wasn’t someone you woulda put your trust in.

Today, I get to be a partner, a dad, a student, and a co-worker. I get to wake up with a clear head and am free from being binded to anything outside of myself that doesn’t offer positivity.

If you’re struggling right now, don’t give up. Consult someone on your decisions before you make them, and keep showing up even when you don’t wanna.”

Recovery has a way of transforming lives in ways that once seemed impossible. Six years represents thousands of choices to keep moving forward, to keep growing, and to continue building a life rooted in purpose.

As a Case Manager, he now walks alongside others on their own recovery journeys, offering encouragement, support, and hope through both his lived experience and his dedication to helping others.

His story is a reminder that your past does not have to define your future. With willingness, support, and perseverance, a new life is possible.

Congratulations on 6 years of recovery! Thank you for the impact you make every day, and for continuing to inspire those around you. We’re proud to have you as part of the MHASL family. 💙💪

🎉 1 YEAR SOBER 🎉🔥

Today we celebrate an incredible milestone 1 year of recovery. 👏

Here's what he had to say:

“It’s weird to think about the fact that exactly 1 year ago I was sitting in a jail cell at the end of my rope, and completely hopeless, and today I get to wake up in a house full of my brothers, and help show others that there is a real pathway to peace. I would have never reached the point I have today without making that initial decision to completely surrender to the program. For me that was as simple as coming to sober living, following the rules, and saying yes to all the suggestions of the program whether I thought it was necessary or not. I’m so grateful for my sponsor, the house managers I’ve had, and everyone I’ve worked with. All in all, I’m just happy to be here. 🙂”

One year can completely change a life.

Recovery isn’t just about leaving the past behind, it’s about finding hope where there once was none, building genuine connections, and discovering a new way to live one day at a time.

This milestone is a reflection of courage, perseverance, and the willingness to trust the process even when the outcome isn’t clear. His journey reminds us that asking for help, staying open to guidance, and taking recovery one day at a time can lead to a life that once seemed impossible.

At MHASL, we’re grateful to walk alongside individuals as they rebuild their lives and discover that recovery is possible. Thank you to the sponsors, house managers, staff, alumni, and recovery fellowship who continue to help make these stories possible.

Congratulations on 1 year of sobriety! We’re proud of everything you’ve accomplished and excited to see what the future holds. Keep moving forward, you’ve earned every step of this journey. 💙💪

🎉 4 YEARS SOBER 🎉🔥

Yesterday, we celebrated an incredible milestone, 4 years of recovery for one of our dedicated House Managers Darris Grant! 👏

“It’s really been 4 years already. One moment you’re sitting in the park drinking warm Karkov and the next you’re having Nothing Bundt Cake with the Sober Lodge’s finest. Has it been a journey? Yes. Has it had its ups and downs? All the time. Does God give me another day in recovery? Every time I wake up to a missed alarm. It’s Life. A beautiful one at that. Even when faced with trials and tribulations and my higher power carries me through it. Makes that Nothing Bundt Cake all that much sweeter. Recovery is a journey. An adventure that I get to experience with all of you. Thank you to my higher power, the fellowship, and Angie for posting this. Carry on wayward son 🤟🏾”

Recovery is built one day at a time, and four years is a testament to resilience, faith, and the courage to keep moving forward. As a House Manager, he not only continues his own journey but also helps others find hope and strength in theirs.

His story reminds us that recovery is an adventure filled with growth, gratitude, and community, and that even through life’s challenges, there is beauty in staying the course.

Congratulations on 4 years! Your leadership, humor, and dedication continue to inspire those around you. We’re proud to celebrate this milestone with you and grateful for all you do for the MHASL community. 💙💪

What an amazing day for the MHA Sober Living Program!

Our event was a tremendous success, bringing together four full teams, an incredible audience, and plenty of laughter, friendly competition, and recovery throughout the day. The energy was outstanding, and it was great to see so many people showing up to support one another and celebrate the recovery journey.

Between the games, the cheers from the crowd, and all the fun in between, the event was a reminder that recovery is about more than overcoming challenges, it's about building community, creating positive memories, and enjoying life together.

Thank you to everyone who participated, attended, volunteered, and helped make this event possible. Your support and commitment continue to strengthen the recovery community and inspire others along the way.

Recovery is alive, recovery is strong, and today was proof that we can have a lot of fun while supporting one another in the process.

Today we celebrate Dean (Baby Dean) Foote Jr. and an incredible milestone—4 years of continuous sobriety.

Dean's journey is a powerful example of what recovery can look like when determination, humility, and service to others are put into action. He first came through our program as a guest, committed himself to the process, and steadily grew into leadership roles that allowed him to give back to others walking the same path.

Over the years, Dean has served as a Peer Support Specialist, Peer Support Supervisor, and today leads our Men's Behavioral Health Supportive Housing Cottage. His growth has been inspiring to witness, not only professionally but personally. Dean leads by example, showing others that recovery is about much more than abstinence—it's about building a life of purpose, responsibility, and service.

Whether he's supporting guests through difficult times, mentoring staff, or helping create a safe and recovery-focused environment, Dean continues to demonstrate what it means to be a servant leader. His willingness to share his experience, strength, and hope has impacted countless lives.

Congratulations on 4 years, Dean. We are proud of the man, leader, uncle, and recovery advocate you have become. Thank you for continuing to walk beside others and showing them that lasting recovery is possible.

One day at a time, one life at a time. Keep leading the way, brother.

Today, we honor the life and legacy of Rhonda Packineau of Parshall, North Dakota.

Rhonda was a fierce advocate for recovery, a strong leader in the Fort Berthold community, and a woman whose impact reached far beyond what words can fully capture. She dedicated her life to helping women and families find hope, healing, and a path forward. Through her compassion, strength, and unwavering commitment to recovery, she touched countless lives and helped many discover that a better life was possible.

Rhonda endured one of life's greatest heartbreaks with the loss of her daughter, Cheyenne Marie "Cherry Blossom" Packineau. Even through that unimaginable pain, she continued her fight against addiction and remained a beacon of hope for others. Her love for her daughter and her commitment to helping others never wavered.

In honor of Cheyenne and the love Rhonda carried for her, the MHA Sober Living Program opened the Cherry Blossom Women's Sober Living Home. It stood as a lasting tribute to Cheyenne's memory and to Rhonda's tireless dedication to recovery and healing within our communities.

Today, as we remember Rhonda, we also recognize that her work continues. Through the lives she changed, the families she helped restore, and the generous donations made in her memory to the MHA Sober Living Program, her legacy remains alive and active. The seeds she planted will continue to grow for generations to come.

Rhonda, we are beyond grateful for the life you lived, the battles you fought, and the strength you showed until your very last breath. You never stopped fighting for your people, your community, and those still struggling to find their way.
We will continue the fight.

Rest peacefully, dear friend. Give Cheyenne a hug for all of us. Your work here is not finished—it lives on in every life touched by recovery, hope, and healing.

Forever remembered. Forever honored. ❤️🌸🦋
