Survivor Stories

To Whom It May Concern,
My name is Jessica and I am writing on behalf of Sisters in Sobriety Transformed Anointed Healed (S.I.S.T.A.H). I was first introduced to this wonderful organization in 2008, when I was 22 years old. I had been struggling with an addiction to alcohol and bi-polar disorder.
When I first sought help through S.I.S.T.A.H., I was scared and had no idea about the recovery process. The founder, Dee Dee Osobor, served as a mentor by teaching me how to serve others through programs like Angel Tree and other similar outreach programs. Working with Ms. Osobor helped me to seek a higher purpose in life.
In 2009, Ms. Osobor helped facilitate my intervention. In the middle of the night, she helped get me into my first detox facility and treatment program. Unfortunately, I was unable to stay sober. However, S.I.S.T.A.H. planted a seed in my spirit and I did not give up. I have been sober since July 23, 2010.
If it had not been for S.I.S.T.A.H., I would have undoubtedly become another statistic. I am now a mother and productive member of society. I currently serve on the Board of Directors for N’The Spirit Transformational Living, a recovery home for women re-entering society after leaving treatment or prison.
S.I.S.T.A.H has given me the tools that I need to remain sober. For that, I am eternally grateful.
Thank you for the opportunity to share about this incredible organization.
Best regards,
Jessica
