Jill
You put Jill on a path to a fresh start
Jill grew up with a loving, supportive family. She was very involved in church and youth group. But curiosity can get the best of anyone …
In high school, Jill started hanging out with the wrong crowd and began experimenting with drugs.
“I liked the feeling and got confidence from it,” Jill shares.
Sadly, Jill plunged into a toxic relationship that was physically and mentally abusive. She and her partner did drugs together, and she couldn’t bring herself to leave.
“In order to cope with the mental abuse, I got hooked on pills just to deal with it,” Jill adds. When the abuse got worse than ever, Jill started doing heroin.
Thankfully, Jill’s parents were there to help and encouraged her to enter a Christian program.
Jill visited some programs, but when she walked into our New York Home, she saw joy on the ladies’ faces … something she wanted so much for herself.
“I didn’t even think that was possible for me,” Jill recalls.
After working through detox, Jill entered our program. She got clean, she broke up with the man who abused her, and she developed friendships and a sisterhood with the other ladies.
Today, Jill is married to a wonderful Christian man. She has a great job and church family. She is thankful to have a fresh start and freedom from the addiction that held her captive for so long.
