Scott was just eight when he took his first drink.
That sip of alcohol spiraled into a decades-long cycle. Despite his secret struggle, Scott went on to college. He met his wife and they built a life together with three kids. But drinking and drugs took it all away.
STRUGGLING TO SURRENDER
Scott had come to CityTeam before, two years prior — staying for three months before returning home. Now, his stubbornness had landed him in a motel — anxious, addicted, and out of options, contemplating how his life had come to this.
“I lost my wife, the kids, my job, my home, all of it."
When the divorce papers brought him to a point of surrender, Scott was met with an unexpected welcome from a CityTeam staff member.
“He showed me what God’s grace looked like before I could even fathom it,” says Scott. “He didn’t ask me how it got this bad. He just gave me a hug and said, ‘Welcome back.’”
REWRITING A NEW ENDING
Scott realized people at CityTeam would do whatever it took to help him thrive. He told God, “I’m going to start doing things your way now.”
Through CityTeam, Scott found every tool he needed to create real change in his life — classes for relapse prevention, anger management, boundaries, parenting, financial literacy, and more.
“I took full advantage of everything that CityTeam had to offer. Everything prepared me for the life I’m living now.”
And three months after starting the program, Scott decided to get baptized. He calls it his “turning point” where he began to see life differently.
Today, Scott is on staff at CityTeam.
He’s saving and investing, serving at his local church, and married to an incredible woman who is “everything he prayed for.” He volunteers at the food pantry with his mom.
The verse that taught Scott how to pray is Philippians 4:6-7: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
“Without CityTeam, I’d be dead. They [CityTeam] deserve so much credit for giving so many people like me their lives back.”
