“I have been coming to the WeHo Recovery Center for well over 20 years. It has been a true cornerstone of my recovery. When I first started my recovery journey after serving time in prison, the center, along with the meetings I attended at the MCC Church on Santa Monica Boulevard, provided a safe space for me. Having these safe environments made it possible for me to maintain a life free of using. I held many commitments during that time, and one of my favorites was attending the Tuesday night book study for over three years. Today, I do a lot of H&I work in the jails, mainly at Men’s Central Jail, and people frequently mention the WHRC and Log Cabin as places they know they can turn to. I am incredibly grateful to everyone who works behind the scenes to keep these venues open for anyone who has the desire to stop drinking or using.”
