Walking Through Recovery | Aaron’s Story
Aaron, from St. Louis, Missouri, knows firsthand that recovery is a journey. Sometimes, it takes multiple attempts to get it right. His struggle with addiction began in grade school, leading him down a path of substance use and dealing to support his habit. Despite going through Heartland Recovery before, he always found himself slipping back into old habits.
But Aaron didn’t give up. When he came to Heartland for the third time, he knew this time had to be different. “I really humbled myself and surrendered to the calling that God has on my life,” he shares. Now, he embraces the process, understanding that setbacks don’t define the journey—perseverance does.
If you’ve tried and stumbled, don’t lose hope. Each step, even the missteps, can lead to lasting change. As Aaron says, “Cry out to God, and He will answer your call.”
If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, don’t wait to take the first step toward freedom. Heartland Recovery offers hope, healing, and lasting transformation through Jesus Christ. Reach out today and discover the new life that’s possible.

Walking Through Recovery | Wesley’s Story
Wesley, a St. Louis native, recalls how his struggles with narcotics, alcohol, and a reckless lifestyle culminated in a head-on collision that left him in a coma. “That accident was my wake-up call,” Wesley says. “It brought me to Heartland and the start of my recovery.”
At Heartland, Wesley experienced genuine love and support. “When I arrived, the guys rallied around me, even putting together a suit and tie for church when I didn’t have one,” he shares. “They showed me what it’s like to love like Christ loves us.”
Now a firm believer in Jesus, Wesley is preparing for a new chapter in a faith-based work transition program in Springfield, Missouri. His advice to others is simple yet powerful: “Start reading the Bible, take it seriously, and let the Holy Spirit change your heart over time.”
If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, consider taking the first step toward a new life. Visit Heartland Recovery and discover the hope and transformation that’s possible through Jesus.
