"Following a full year of treatment for my addiction, I came to Launchpad as a transitional step in my recovery. Personally, in order for me to stay clean I need accountability, structure, peer support and social interaction. Launchpad provides those things, and is encompassed by people who support my recovery, goals, spirituality, and overall well being. Living in a Launchpad house has provided me with independent living in a safe and sober environment. In my recovery it is vital to be surrounded by peers who fully understand my commitment and are on the same journey - social gatherings are encouraged and have offered me lack of isolation. The friendships I have made and the network I have created here in Wilmington, NC are priceless. I am so grateful to be living a 'new way of life' and for Launchpad."
