Brett R., a Justin’s Place Recovery Program graduate, shares his testimony.

In high school I started to experiment with drinking and the occasional drug use. Over the next few years the  frequency of my substance use increased from Friday to Saturday night to finding any reason to use on any night. 8 felonies later, my future uncertain and to cover the pain, I fell further into addiction. I remember nights in bed praying to a God that I did not believe in asking him to please help me. I entered Justin’s Place on Friday January 17 2014, broken, lost and not even sure what I was doing here. But for the first time in a long time I had a feeling that everything is going to be alright. I was saved a week later and baptized a week after that. The transformation Christ is doing in my life has drawn some of my friends and family members into a relationship with him. I am so thankful God chose to deliver me from my circumstances and bring me to Justins Place.
