Road to Recovery

It was my alcoholism that brought me to The Salvation Army Belkin House and its here that I’ve rediscovered myself and become healthy.

For a long time, Miranda’s addiction impacted her life. Married for over 30 years, Miranda slowly began to see her marriage fall apart as a result of her drinking. Despite her repeated attempts to change, Miranda’s marriage suffered irreparable damage and it ended.

“I Found myself desperately alone and really wondered if my life was over,” says Miranda.

At such a difficult time, Miranda sought support from her family and friends and later made the decision to enter Detox and rehab. After hearing about the program from a friend, Miranda came to The Salvation Army Belkin House to get her life back.

“Once I stabilized, the staff suggested that I consider their Culinary Arts Program,” explains Miranda, “Long story short, today is my graduation!”

“Life is looking very hopeful for me and for the first time in a long time, I am excited about the future. I just applied to be a cook at another Salvation Army facility and I will be moving into my own place at The Salvation Army Grace Mansion in the next couple of weeks.”

“I’m so thankful for The Salvation Army. This place, and this program represent opportunity for me!”
