One Mile at a Time

Nine months ago if you had told me that I’d ride in a 50 mile mountain bike race, I’d have told you that you were crazy.  Since the 4th of July, I’ve competed in two 50 mile races.  My older peers from Jaywalker have told me that mountain biking saves lives, and though I’m quite sure […]

Most Successful Semester

When I graduated the Lodge this last January, I knew that I wanted to continue my education and had some fears about doing that on my own.  I knew that Jaywalker U would be an excellent choice for me because I would be able to get the support I needed in school and in my recovery.  Jaywalker U […]

Happy Mother’s Day

Holidays have become a gift in sobriety.  Welcomed by Jaywalker since the day I walked through the doors, I learned how patience, time, and recovery would heal the wreckage I reeked on my family.  Jaywalker showed me how to take action in my recovery; how to establish my sober identity and offer amends.   Today I […]

Jaywalker Composting

Composting is a natural process where organic material, such as vegetable scraps, other food waste, and manure decompose and are […]

But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.”  – Winston Churchill Although the 4th annual Sedona mountain bike trip ended today, the trip may have started something that will never end. Sixteen alumni were given the opportunity to start […]
