Testimonials

Hi my name is Lori I’ve been in and out of addiction for 40 years. I used crack, methamphetamine, pain pills, heroin, cocaine, and Xanax. In September 2021 I overdosed on Xanax and was in ICU for four days. I had been in such a dark place for so long feeling hopeless and useless. When I got out the hospital I came to a place called Transformations. I’ve never met people who love you when you don’t even love yourself or who put up with you when you can’t put up with yourself. This place has truly turned my life around and shown me how to build a relationship with Jesus, not just be sober. I’ve been here two years and now work for Transformations and get to watch these girls every single day and the miracles God is doing in their lives. We truly are family here.

Before coming to Transformations I had struggled with addiction on and off for about 20 years. In 2021 I found my self yet again addicted to suboxine and Xanax. Hopeless, and desperate for a change I left my entire life and family in Alaska and headed to West Monroe in hopes of being able to just get clean for a couple months. I had NO intentions of staying! But Jesus had other plans. Little did I know I would end up living here permanently, working at Transformations and getting to give back what was freely given to me.
I now have an over 2 1/2 years clean and have never felt so much love and acceptance as I do here. I’ve truly discovered what it means to be a new creation and have freedom through Christ.

Before coming to Transformations I knew of God, but I did not truly know Him… and because I did not truly know God, I had no idea who I was. I spent the majority of my adult life blinded by sin, running through darkness away from God. All the while convincing myself that my way of life – my sin was my identity: I was a drug addict – I was liar I was a thief- I was a homosexual. I sought validation through this lifestyle and through toxic relationships. I finally came to the end of myself in March of 2022-crying out to God wanting something better than the physical and spiritual jail cell I had run into. He led me and swung the door open to Transformations. My family at Transformations has pointed me to Jesus and who He is, how to develop and intimate relationship with Him, and who I am in Him. I found my true identity in Jesus Christ, as a daughter of the one true King!

Before I came to Transformations I was lost and broken. I’ve spent the last 20 years of my life addicted to methamphetamine. My addiction has led me to lie, cheat, steal, have abortions and to walk away from my children. I’ve spent many years in and out of prisons and recovery centers. Since I came to Transformations they have taught me about Jesus and led me into a relationship with him. I now have a firm foundation to rebuild my life on. I have hope for the first time in my life. I have restored my family as a whole. I have one of my children living with me and see my other two children weekly. I have a job, a house and a car. I’m breaking generational curses! I’m a new creation in Christ!

Before arriving at Transformations, I was strongly addicted to drugs. I was lost broken and completely hopeless. I lost my three children to CPS in 2016. I arrived at Transformations shackled and handcuffed angry and bitter. Transformations allowed me to work on myself and my relationship with the Lord, I surrendered my life to Christ, and he slowly began to change me from the inside out. I was blessed in ways that I never would’ve imagined. I was awarded full custody of all three children. I am now married to a wonderful God-fearing man that loves me and my children like they are his own. Most importantly I know who Jesus is and the love he has for each and everyone of us.
