God has delivered me from my addiction, and I’m free! Free from alcohol, from the lifestyle of bondage I was living before having a true spiritual connection with Him. This program is not just a drug treatment program, it’s a place for spiritual healing and discipleship. I feel strongly that my calling is to witness and spread His word for the benefit of His Kingdom. No more deep depression, rage, hopelessness, or grief, just His love, and grace. My name is Chase, thank you for your help. You will never know how much I and so many others appreciate you, and how you’ve changed our lives through Christ.

I was raised going to church with both grandfathers being preachers. Through the pain of traumatic hidden events in my childhood, I found myself as an adult living in a two-bedroom trailer with three adults and six children and submerged in drugs.  Other people were in and out doing drugs daily, and even though I participated, my heart was in the protection of those children.  When I tried to move out of  situation, I was severely beaten, but knew I had to get away.  By the merciful grace of God, I am at ATC developing healthy relationships and a solid and relationship with God…I am safe.  I thank Him every day for second chances and mercy.

Our family was in church every time the doors were open and served God and the congregation throughout my childhood. Everything looked great on the surface, but within my own heart, I was hurt, confused and sliding farther and farther away form God. My inward pain started showing up in ways my family worried about...stealing, pornography, and drugs...and life began spiraling into darkness. I tried to get sober over and over, but the depression was worsening, and thoughts of suicide came often. Family and friends encouraged me to come to ATC, and honestly, being free form the outword problems is amazing, but the freedom that's coming in my healing soul gives me courage for my future knowing Jesus is with me.
