Jordan

Hello, my name is Jordan Douglas and I am a recovering addict. Today I am grateful to say I can share 11 months clean and sober. I wish I could say this was my first time in recovery or it has been easy but that just wouldn't be honest. When I came to Truly Motivated, I was spiritually, physically, and emotionally broken. I had been living homeless in tents anywhere I could lay my head. It has been a long hard road to get where I am today but I'm grateful to say that with the help of a higher power, the program of Narcotics Anonymous and the foundation that TMTL has provided me, I am no longer that broken person. I am beginning to live my life and become the man, father, and son that God has always meant for me to be.

I have come from a long family history of addiction and not living in the best of environments, but I cannot blame that or anyone else for the disease that gripped my life for so long. I have learned that honesty, accountability, and surrender are a cornerstone on which the foundation of my recovery needs to be built.

When I came into Truly Motivated, December of 2017, I had no idea what was in store for me. All I knew was I found a place, for the first time in an awfully long time, that felt like I could call home. As I said, this is not my first time in recovery. I have had bumps in the road and made mistakes but TMTL and the staff were always there to support me, help me, and welcome me back with open arms when I was ready to do what was necessary.

Since being at Truly Motivated, I have restored and built relationships I never thought possible. I have become a part of my daughter's life again and the father she has always deserved as well as have a new son. Today, I am proud to say they don’t ever have to see me loaded again. Not only has Truly Motivated help me build and restore my faith, my physical and emotional well-being, but they've provided a platform and program on which I have been able to grow and  learn to become a productive member of society and a genuine human being. I cannot imagine where I would be in life without Truly Motivated and with the help of the God of my understanding and a lot of hard work, I won't ever have to find out — and for that I'm eternally grateful.
