" My name is Helen Blumberg, and my sobriety date is November 14, 2016. I am a Second Chance Program alumni, after 40 years of struggling to get sober.
​
I entered Second Chance Program in December of 2016. I was connected with amazing people and exposed to the solution of the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous for the first time ever. Great mentors and workshops helped me through the steps. Big Book studies and seminars have supported my journey, and I have remained sober since."

" Arriving at Second Chance Program, I was blessed with a new beginning. When I arrived in 2019, I had nothing but the clothes on my back.
​
Second Chance Program loved me until I could love myself. Second Chance gifted me a second chance at life, and being part of this community, I felt a sense of family and belonging. The unwavering support and encouragement of the directors and clients helped me stay sober and motivated, no matter what challenges lay ahead. They empowered me with the tools to build a strong foundation, preparing me to face life’s journey with confidence and courage.
​
Second Chance Program transformed my life! I am grateful to God for leading me to this haven, where the directors and clients became instruments of change, teaching me valuable life lessons. I owe a debt of gratitude to Mrs. Shannon, whose selfless care and compassion helped me find my way when I couldn’t care for myself."

" I came in broken, hopeless, and full of fear and anxiety, but the Second Chance Program that Shannon Rogan created truly saved my life. I went from being lost to finding stability, purpose, and hope, and even had the chance to sponsor other women just like me. Today, I have blessings I never thought possible, all because Shannon believed in me when I couldn’t believe in myself. "

" Second Chance and Shannon R. didn’t just give me a place to stay — they gave me hope when I had none. When I arrived, I was lost, broken, and certain that sobriety wasn’t something I could achieve. Through Shannon’s program, I learned that getting sober was possible, and more than that, I discovered that life in recovery can be full of purpose, joy, and freedom. Second Chance gave me the tools, support, and accountability I desperately needed, and Shannon’s compassion and strength helped me believe in myself again. I will always credit Shannon and Second Chance with giving me the foundation that saved my life. "

" When I arrived at the Second Chance Program, I was a lost soul. I had no idea what I wanted out of life, had no guidance, and no structure. Shannon and the directors gave me a chancethrough structure and accountability
​
Following a few simple rules and suggestions led me to become the person I am today. Sober since 2021, with a full life ahead of me, I am truly grateful to Shannon and the Second Chance Program. The people that were there and are still a part of my life today have not only become friends, but they have become my family, and I wouldn't trade it for the world!
Thank you, Second Chance Program! And thank you, Shannon! "
