Being released from jail was making me nervous. I wasn't sure if I was going to do well or go back to my addiction and back to the streets.

Luckily, I found the Rescue Mission Bridging Program, and being accepted into it was surely a blessing. Not only have I reconnected with the community, but most importantly, myself. I've been working on my sobriety and maintaining it. I'm starting school again soon and even thinking about attending college.

The Rescue Mission Bridge House has allowed me to see who and where I am, and I couldn't be more grateful for the opportunity I've been provided.
