September is National Recovery Month, a time to increase awareness and celebrate the successes of those who battle addiction. 

Heartland Recovery is hosting our 4rd Annual Run/Bike/Walk-a-Thon fundraiser. Whether you’re walking to create awareness, to honor a loved one, or to celebrate your own victory, we need you!  Make a difference in the fight, one step at a time. Our goal this year is $10,000.

Here are some ways to get involved:

  1. Register online and start getting sponsors for the A-thon as you run/bike/walk throughout the month, or at our September 24th in-person event.
  2. Or, simply make a donation/sponsor one of our Rally participants. 

*Rally for Recovery is open to anyone to participate (not just Heartland residents).

“What you need is God to intervene in your life…”

Paul battled alcohol addiction for most of his life and although he tried to get help, it just never seemed to work. After crashing his car, Paul told himself, “That’s it! You’re gonna die if you don’t quit doing this.” With some help from his sister-in-law, they looked for a faith-based program and found Heartland. “This gave me a good solid start. I have a good church home when I leave here so I’m ready for that, looking forward to it.”

What about you, have you headed down a wrong road? Through his testimony Paul now encourages others, “What you need is God to intervene in your life and to follow Him.” Please take the first step to getting on track.

“Don’t let your past mistakes influence and control who you are…”

How does someone from Anchorage, Alaska, end up in the middle of Missouri cornfields for addiction recovery?

Brian grew up in a destructive house around addicts who were both physically and mentally abusive. He left home at 16 and lived with a Christian family for a time, which is when he first experienced God and going to church. He admits, though, that he still wanted to go his own way.

Spending the past year in the Heartland Men’s Recovery Program has begun a change in Brian. Experiencing the love of God and the joy that comes from serving others played a key part in that. Now, he encourages others, “Don’t let your past mistakes influence and control who you are, or let them define how you’re gonna spend the rest of your life. It’s not a good way to live… it can be destructive and disheartening. Once you let God into your life, He can take all that away from you.”

“In my moments of deepest despair, God snatched me…

Austin came into the Heartland Recovery program with nothing. Multiple arrests and a parole violation had him facing up to 30 years of jail time. When the option of going through the Heartland Recovery Program was put on the table, Austin thought he’d get sober and try living a life the right way so his parents could be proud of him. “I didn’t realize the depth and gravity of that ‘right way,'” he now realizes. “In my moments of deepest despair, God snatched me. He used my own will and my own consequences and He turned it for good.”

After graduation, Austin looks forward to being able to point others in the right direction, and has a message for people on the same path. “Don’t give up! Don’t quit before your miracle happens.”
