“I feel liberated from sexual addiction. The fellowship and the invitation to honest, vulnerable sharing have done more than just support my sobriety—they’ve transformed me.”

“Feeling trusting enough that I could share my story of sexual abuse and living in an emotionally non-functional family as a child. The team helped me to face and then start to resolve my shame.”

“I have identified, shared and worked through some deep seated trauma and wounds from my past that I never thought I would share. I felt like I wasn’t being judged for my past actions. This has allowed me to love myself more. Sharing adolescent memories that some would find trivial and having the group supporting me so genuinely had a huge impact.”

“The unpacking of my family of origin at the start of this group was the key factor for my achieving and maintaining my sobriety. In addition, MHS helped me to formulate my vision and to develop certain guardrails to ensure my continued path of recovery. Finally, with the fellowship of the MHS leadership and of my fellow MHS brothers and most importantly, God, I have been able to see where I evolved from and to have the vision of where I am going.”

“If it were not for this group, my life would be completely upside down and in shambles. I learned so much these two years. I will be forever thankful for those who invested in me, my marriage, and my future generations.”

“When I first joined the group, I was broken—emotionally overwhelmed and confused, unsure how I even got there. Two years later, I’m still a work in progress, but I’ve gained emotional awareness, healthier ways to process my feelings, and a deeper understanding of how my wounds and traumas—both the “whacks and lacks”—were at the root of my choices and addictions.”

“I maintained sobriety throughout Closed Group with one slip, but the real work was internal—learning to forgive myself and process deep emotional wounds. Having a safe, judgment-free space to share openly each week helped me grow immensely. The support and accountability from my group, especially the weekly calls and honest conversations, were invaluable.”

“This group brought me community and love when I had none. It encouraged me to grow towards sobriety and having faith in God’s work and have faith in people again.”

“A much needed, vulnerable and messy raw experience that seems to reflect what the individuals in the group are willing to put into it. Genuine, powerfully eye opening and yet unfinished work with men still in the healing process.”

“It was a great introduction to true intimacy by showing how to be vulnerable without shame. The true community friendships helped me to feel emotions probably truly for the first time and be okay with them.”
