You’re Not Walking Into a Room of Strangers
Everyone leading AND4L has walked through recovery personally.
This isn’t theory. It’s lived experience, honesty, and people learning to rebuild together — one step at a time.
Why AND4L Exists
Many recovery programs focus only on stopping behaviors.
AND4L focuses on rebuilding lives — mindset, habits, faith, and community —
because lasting recovery happens when people learn how to live differently, not just quit temporarily.
If you’re wondering whether you belong here — you do.
My Story
I didn’t set out to start a recovery group.
For a long time, I was convinced alcohol wasn’t really my problem—until it slowly became the thing that unraveled parts of my life I never thought I could lose. Like many people, I minimized it, explained it away, and told myself I still had control long after I didn’t.
Eventually, consequences made denial impossible. I reached a point where I had to face the truth: something had to change, or nothing would.

Here’s what changed everything for me:
▬▬▬
Recovery didn’t happen overnight. It started with small decisions—choosing honesty over hiding, responsibility over excuses, and one sober day at a time over trying to fix everything at once. Along the way, I discovered something important:
Substances were never the whole problem.
They were how I coped with deeper things I didn’t yet know how to face.
What helped me most wasn’t pressure or judgment. It was being around people who understood the struggle firsthand—people who had walked through failure, rebuilding, and learning how to live differently.
Today, I’m several years sober, but more importantly, I’m still learning. Recovery isn’t a finish line; it’s a way of living with honesty, accountability, and faith.
A New Direction 4 Life exists because I know how isolating early recovery can feel—especially when life circumstances, legal stress, or personal loss are involved. This group isn’t built on theory or perfection. It’s built on lived experience, grace, and the belief that real change happens step by step, in community.
You don’t have to have everything figured out to walk through the door.
You just have to be willing to take the next right step.
