💜 Meet Kimber.
Today, we’re honored to share another story of recovery, strength, and hope.
Every recovery journey looks different, but every story has the power to remind someone that change is possible.
This is Kimber’s story. 💜

I had a beautiful life. I was a great mom. I was a very involved, "hands on" type of mom. I had a beautiful house. A nice car. I had been at the same job for years. No one would have guessed I was struggling with a fentenyl & m**h addiction. I held it together for years. I thought I was in control, but eventually, it took control of me. My addiction slowly became front & center.
I lost everything that ever meant anything to me. I lost my kids. My home. My job. Everything. I found myself homeless, living in bandos or trap houses, going weeks without a shower, sticking a needle in my arm just to cope with the way my life was. I would spend day and night chasing drugs. I became someone I didn't even recognize, doing things I swore I would never do, & hurting anyone that ever meant anything to me in the process.
Over the years, I had become no stranger to rehabs & detox facilities. I tried & failed to get clean probably a dozen times before I finally got it "right". But on September 17, 2025, I decided som**hing had to change. I had no idea how I was going to do it, but I knew I had to do SOMETHING because I was so disgusted by what I had become... & I was absolutely desperate for a change.
I went into rehab with only the clothes on my back. I didn't have anything else to my name. While in rehab, a speaker came & began talking about Lighthouse Sober Living and how it had changed his life. I knew right then and there that the Lighthouse is where I needed to be.
So on December 1, 2025, I began calling Lighthouse Sober Living home. It was the best decision I've ever made. Lighthouse showed me that recovery was possible and that I could build a new, better life for myself.
Today, I have my kids back in my life. I have an amazing relationship with my family. I have such an awesome group of friends that are also in recovery. I am working again & I finally have my independence back. Everyday I'm seeing that there is so much more to life than simply surviving. & if I can do it, anyone can do it!
