"There was a time when I couldn’t imagine making it a week clean, let alone five years. But here I am, living proof that change is possible, and healing is real. I walked into the Jude House broken, and full of doubt. I didn’t know who I was without the chaos. But day by day, with the support of the staff, my peers, and a growing faith in something bigger than myself, I started to rebuild. I learned that recovery isn't about being perfect, it's about being present. It's about showing up for yourself, even on the hard days. Especially on the hard days. This journey has been filled with ups and downs, but every single day has been worth it. I've learned to love myself again. I've made amends, built healthy relationships, and discovered strength I never knew I had. Today, I wake up grateful, grateful for life, for second chances, and for the Jude House for believing in me when I didn’t believe in myself. I carry this message to anyone who might still be struggling: You are not alone. You are not too far gone. Recovery is possible and it’s beautiful. Keep going. One day at a time. If I can do it, so can you. ' Jamie Maguire 2025
