Serenity House receives letters from our Alumni and their friends and family expressing their appreciation and letting us know how treatment has changed their life.

Dear Henry:
I would like to personally thank you for sending us on our spiritual retreat. I got a chance to get in touch with myself as well as my higher power as I understand him. It's only through spending time with each other and sharing with each other that we find our own answers, our own higher power, and our own path to recovery. It doesn't matter where we come from or how good or bad we think we had it. The important thing now is where we are going and this experience did help me find the path to where I am going today. For this I do thank you.

Sincerely,
R.R.

Dear Serenity House:
I am writing this letter to tell you all how honored I am to be a part of Serenity House. You have given me a chance to live my life, and be the person who I always wanted to be. I really appreciate everything you have done for me and still do up to this day. I really can not put it in to words, but it is in my heart. I am so grateful that I chose Serenity House to help me. Thank you so much for being there for me.

God Bless us all!

Thank you,
S.J.

Dear Mr. Tews & All Staff of Serenity House:
I would like to take this opportunity to remember all I'm grateful for today! At the top of that list is "Serenity House"! For it has changed my life forever! It has shown me that I'm a person worthy of love, forgiveness and a sober life.

I was raised to believe that problems such as alcoholism, drug addiction, abuse, etc… were to be hidden from others. Something to be deeply ashamed of. You have taught me that these are not something to be ashamed of and if we are willing we can work through it and have peace and serenity.

By coming to Serenity House in April 1999, I gave myself the best gift possible! For, it was here I discovered the woman I always wanted to be! I have many wonderful people in my life, a new found spirituality, a true relationship with my higher power - whom I chose to call God, and a safe place to grow. I realize today to sustain this spirituality and sobriety, I must share with others that come after me. Therefore, please accept this check as a donation of my gratitude.

Thank you for all the Hope, Faith & Courage!

God Bless you all.
S.M.

Dear Staff:
We would like to sincerely thank you for letting us have some furniture for our new apartment. We are just starting out and this is a big help. Also, I would like to thank you for all your assistance with "Steven." He has made a great improvement, and to me, this is the greatest thing that has ever happened to us.

God bless you and the staff.

Dear Serenity House Staff:
I want to thank each of you for your support and encouragement through my stay here at Serenity House. I have seen many miracles happen to many people who have come through the doors of Serenity House. Myself being one.

I will miss this place very much, for this is where I have called home for the last eight months, and consider you all to be part of my family. The deep concern and well-being you show towards the clients makes Serenity House a one of a kind Facility.

I also want to thank you for the opportunity to serve as a senior resident here. It has been a great experience. A position desired by many and fulfilled by few. I am just grateful I had the chance to give something back to the house. For this I am truly grateful to you and to God.

If there is anything I can do for you, or the house, or a client in the future, I would be honored to help in any way I can. A lot of people have thanked me for what I have done for Serenity House, but whatever I have done or can do in the future , in no way compares to what this house has done for me. It has given me a new life, a new freedom, and a new happiness.

May God bless each and every one of you for ever.

Dear Friends at Serenity House,
It's very difficult to resurrect those memories of the past when my husband and I discovered that our daughter was an alcoholic. We knew very little about the disease and were relieved when she entered treatment and then went to a halfway house. Little did we know that the future held relapses, hostility, moving back home, more hostility - - in other words heartache and a nightmare for the entire family. We were fortunate to have received counseling, after which we attended meetings of Families Anonymous. She was accepted into Serenity House's residential program for women, and because of the loving care she received there, along with her willingness and our better understanding of her illness, she is now a productive and well-adjusted individual and has been sober for seven years.

Thank you Serenity House.

Dear Henry,
I'm leaving Serenity House and moving into my own apartment with my daughter. It's going to seem kind of strange at first. I mean, I've been here for four months now and it's time for me to be a responsible adult and mother.

I couldn't have done this without Serenity House and the staff - they have been wonderful, and will always be a part of my life.

It's remarkable how I have changed. This program here really works. Thank you very much.
