Ashley S.

My name is Ashley S and I am an addict with 3 1⁄2 years clean. I have been living at Skyline Recovery now since February of 2021 so it’s been a little over a year. I can’t begin to explain how much this house has helped in my recovery. Before I came here, I was living at my godmother’s house and I thought I was doing really well. A situation arose where I had to find housing really quickly and I didn’t have many options. At first I was really angry about having to come to a recovery house. I felt like I was taking steps backwards. But once I got here and settled in I realized just how badly I had been doing at my godmothers. I had become very isolated and depressed. And moving into this house helped me change that. I was immediately accepted into the community with open arms and given the support I had been so badly lacking. I developed relationships with the other women here and all of sudden wasn’t so alone anymore. The owners also make sure to bring people in regularly to offer support services for women like CRS and other things. It is all around a very supportive atmosphere and It has helped me so much. I don’t know where I would have ended up had it not been for this house being here as a lot of recovery houses do not accept women on MAT. And that is a vital part of my recovery journey. I don’t know where my journey will take me from here , but I know being here has most definitely helped me to stay on the right path and grow in my recovery.
