Aaron, from St. Louis, Missouri, knows firsthand that recovery is a journey. Sometimes, it takes multiple attempts to get it right. His struggle with addiction began in grade school, leading him down a path of substance use and dealing to support his habit. Despite going through Heartland Recovery before, he always found himself slipping back into old habits.
But Aaron didn’t give up. When he came to Heartland for the third time, he knew this time had to be different. “I really humbled myself and surrendered to the calling that God has on my life,” he shares. Now, he embraces the process, understanding that setbacks don’t define the journey—perseverance does.
If you’ve tried and stumbled, don’t lose hope. Each step, even the missteps, can lead to lasting change. As Aaron says, “Cry out to God, and He will answer your call.”
