Hi, I am Jennifer, a grateful child of God and a grateful and proud member of the S.O.B.E.R. Project church and 12-step group. I found the SOBER Project at the beginning of May, 7 days after my children were taken from our home by CPS. I wasn't sure how I was going to get through this most horrible situation that my partner and I created for my children. But after our first Tuesday night meeting, I knew I was on the right path. I found a group of supportive, loving, caring, JESUS FREAKS!!!, who welcome us and cared for us despite the fact that we were all but unknown to them. The only thing they knew was that we were addicts and we were searching for a better way. It took me a while to feel totally comfortable with this new 'family' we had found, but after we began to go to church I began to feel more and more accepted and acceptable, not only with myself, but also with God and this wondeful family He had chosen to lead us to. It has been 110 days since my children were removed from my home and this has turned from a horrible, unfathomable situation to the worst blessing I could have ever asked for. Today my partner and I are clean, we have just begun to have full weekend visits with our children (which in the CPS realm of the world means they are coming home soon), I have a loving caring 'family' in the SOBER Project, and I have an open, honest, trusting, loving relationship with God. I have learned to be prayerful and give to Him the things that I feel I cannot handle alone, which is basically everything. I have found a new way of living through Christ with the careful, loving guidance of my SOBER Project family. Although I know I would have gotten through this eventually, I don't believe I would have gotten through this as quickly or as unscathed as I have without making this step and choice for my life and the lives of my children. PRAISE GOD and thank GOD for the creation of the SOBER Project. God bless everyone.
