Amazing Places
I hate Crossfit! So when I woke up this Saturday to be dragged to do the workout I was less than thrilled. It was during that hour at the gym that John and Donnie informed (not asked) me that we would be camping and riding dirt bikes for the next 36 hours, let it be […]
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 […]

Composting is a natural process where organic material, such as vegetable scraps, other food waste, and manure decompose and are […]
The end of the beginning
“This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. 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 […]
Family Dinner
As the 4th annual Sedona alumni mountain bike trip comes to an end, all 16 alumni sat down for a family style sit down dinner. A family style sit down dinner is something that most of us lost during our addiction, and something that we regained at Jaywalker Lodge. Family dinners are important in all […]
