September 2015 Family Program
Another successful family program! We had several siblings join us this month. Not too unusual but nice to witness how impactful our brothers and sisters can be toward our personal journeys in recovery. Our men were able to participate in the all-powerful family sculpture, allowing room for some corrective experiences with their familial past. They […]
8th Annual Jaywalker Serenity Scramble
The 8th Annual Jaywalker Lodge Serenity Scramble was a huge success! Close to 100 players came out to Ironbridge to support the event, and over $21,000 was raised.

Janet DeMars Celebrates 30
Everyone at Jaywalker would like to congratulate Janet DeMars on 30 years of continuous sobriety today! Janet has been at Jaywalker for 3 years, and has made a great impact while she has been here.

Harmony Golf Tournament
It would take a special team to win the Howard Clark Award at the Harmony Golf Outing on Monday June 29th, and the Jaywalker participants, Dirk Eldredge, John Schneier, Pat Shaffer and Jim Soda were up to that challenge. Granted, the trophy was for most average score at the Lake Valley Golf Club, however it […]

Lord knows most of us would expect some kind of fuss if we ever made it that […]
2015 Twin Lakes Expedition
Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to volunteer for the annual Twin Lakes expedition; an expedition that I participated in last year as a client. This year’s trip would prove to be more rewarding than last year’s. As a client in my first 30 days of sobriety, I had trouble finding the fun in […]

Pushing the Limits
One of the unique aspects of being involved with the Jaywalker community is the opportunity to try new things and push your personal limits, both in self improvement and in a physical sense. When Lynn told me that we were going to do a multi-pitch rock climb in the Black Canyon of the Gunnison, I […]
May 2015 Family Program
Once again, Family Program at Jaywalker Lodge went off swimmingly. There were more fathers than mothers which was conducive to our men healing within the father-son dynamic. Healing the father-son relationship, if only just a little…a little goes a long way toward a healthy and fulfilling recovery. Families bonded with other families, moms connected with […]
