🎉 1 YEAR SOBRIETY 🎉🔥
Yesterday, we celebrated an incredible milestone 1 year of sobriety for Steven Vasquez 👏
“A year ago I didn’t think I could live without drinking. I drank every day for years and felt like I needed alcohol to have fun, talk to people, or deal with life.
This year taught me a lot. It wasn’t easy, but I kept going. Now I’m healthier, I work out, I talk to people easier, and I actually keep my word.
If you’re just starting recovery, don’t give up. It gets better.
Grateful for everybody who helped me get here.”
Recovery is more than just putting substances down it’s learning how to live again, rebuilding confidence, and becoming the person you were always capable of being.
Over this past year, we’ve watched Steven continue to grow through consistency, accountability, and determination. Today, he has stepped into a new role as a House Manager, giving back to the same recovery community that helped him along the way.
The work behind recovery isn’t always seen, but milestones like this are proof that the hard days are worth pushing through. His journey is a reminder that recovery can lead to purpose, leadership, and a completely new way of life.
At MHASL, we’re grateful to be part of journeys like his where healing, growth, fellowship, and community come together to help people rebuild.
Thank you to the staff, leadership, guests, alumni, sponsors, and recovery fellowship who continue to help create a strong foundation for recovery and change.
Steven, we’re proud of you. One year is huge 💪�Keep moving forward the best is still ahead.
create a space where healing and growth are possible.
Steven, this is your moment.
You’ve earned every bit of it.
One Year strong and still moving forward. 💪
