My Nonprofit Reviews

I came to the Beacon House like so many of my Beaconero brothers. Beat down into submission by my self destructiveness and imprisonment to my alcoholism,and drug addictions. My disease put me through four major life threatening operations , jail time, nuthouses, homelessness and disconnected family. The House taught me that it is epicentered with a definite spiritual connection that restores lives, and rejuvenates opportunity that was lost rotting in the underbelly of alcohol and drug abuse. First i was shown and taught humility which i learned and am still learning is the key to willingness. I was shown by the men before me that there was hope, even for me. I was taught from the start to help others even though my selfishness rejected it. The Beacon House gave me the avenue to self truth and self honesty on which i was introduced and taught the 12 Step program , which enabled me to gain Principles in my life. I was given a tool bag with tools to assist me in coping with a new way of thinking and living. I was at the house for almost 5 yrs. I did the mission statement and moved on the way it was laid out! In that time i was blessed with the opportunity to learn Graphic Design, which i make a living doing now!, and learn how to do life on life's terms. I was taught that i do not have to run-away from anything. Today i am so grateful to the Beacon House, and all the staff, which taught me that gratitude is manifested through action so i respond to the call of writing a review. I could never give back enough to the House of what was given to me. I am an alumni 8 yrs. sober The last house on the Block!
