Congratulations Pat
I remember meeting Pat Shaffer not long after I checked into Jaywalker Lodge in April 2010. He was volunteering regularly and we both liked to mountain bike. I got to know Pat well on our Monday outings and expeditions. I specifically remember being on expedition in Twin Lakes, sick with a bad cold, and dealing […]
Dave K Celebrates 3 Years
HE DID IT!!!!! HE ACTUALLY DID IT!!!!! Dave Krimstock has managed to not drink or use drugs for 3 years… What makes this accomplishment all the more impressive is that Dave arrived in our community three years ago as a scraggly refugee of Boulder’s Bohemian mountain lifestyle. No one ever thought a bearded man from […]
Congratulations Lois
In celebration of Lois’s 24th recovery anniversary, I’d like to express a few words of gratitude and appreciation. I’ve had the privilege of knowing Lois for many years and over that time she’s supported me in every aspect of my life and recovery. From addiction counselor, to mentor, family counselor, to fellow traveler- Lois has […]
Papa Ed Celebrates 4 Years
I’ll never forget the day I met Ed Milos. It was my third day at Jaywalker and I was still feeling homesick and unsure about whether or not I wanted to be here. I remember calling my Dad that afternoon and telling him that I didn’t plan on staying out here for 90 days. He told […]
Congratulations Brit
Today Briton Bingham celebrates two years of clean time and sobriety! Over the last two years, having gotten to know Brit quite well I can say that he is the perfect example of “fun in recovery.” He has experienced the promises that sobriety can can offer if one chooses to work diligently and honestly toward […]
Congrats Ben
Have you ever had that weird looking guy walk in on the middle of the conversation and spout enough knowledge to stump Albert Einstein? That’s Ben Goddard. He was one of the first alum’s that I got to know, and 18 months later he is one of my best friends and supporters. Ben works the […]
Congratulations Rocky
Rocky Willcuts………where to start? Maybe with his amazing homemade cheesecakes?? OR his stained glass?? OR his ability to fix any and everything?? Rocky is one if the hardest working, kind, caring hard-headed individuals I have had the pleasure to meet and work with. If you need something done right and done now, not yesterday, Rocky […]
Congratulations Donnie
Jaywalker would like to congratulate Jaywalker U coordinator and Jaywalker Lodge alum, Donnie Hagenbart, on celebrating four years of sobriety. Donnie came to Jaywalker four years ago after a short stint in an Evanston detox. After Jaywalker Donnie quickly became a shining example in the recovering community, volunteering and sponsoring many newly sober men. In […]
Chester Turns 4
I first met Chester the day that he walked into Jaywalker Lodge. I was a client at the time and immediately sized up the new kid. Just another Texas boy out of his element in the Rocky Mountains was my initial assessment. The next week I found myself skiing with Chester at Snowmass. I wanted […]
Bob Ferguson Celebrated 22 years
My favorite way to describe Bobby is simple; “He’s 52 going on 22.” Anyone that has stepped on the ice to play hockey, gone hiking, played lacrosse, just name any outdoor activity, sat in a meeting, or had any interaction with him knows that his energy level is high and insanely off the charts. Bobby […]
