Meet Cody, a U.S. Marine Corps. veteran, who spent two tours in the Middle East, saw active combat, was injured and, unfortunately, suffers from PTSD - which led him to self-medicate. Cody came to us a little more than four months ago from a federal half-way house where he spent some time after incarceration due to bad decisions while self-medicating. While incarcerated, Cody decided change his life and work on his sobriety.
Then, while at the half-way house, Cody learned of Devin's Rec Room. He got passes and spent a lot of time here. He found so much peace in the fitness, yoga and recovery classes that asked to be a volunteer at the front desk until he was released to go home. We said yes and he successfully lobbied the authorities to grant him the privilege.
While here, Cody greeted current members, signed up new ones and formed relationships with people new in recovery where they learned from his experiences and saw his good example. Cody gets released to go home today, so we said goodbye to him this past weekend. Congratulations Cody. And thank you for making us part of your sobriety journey.
