Testimonies

I entered the Freedom Fighters program at 26 years old. This was my 7th recovery program, and it was vastly different from any recovery center I had attended or heard of. The program is Christ centered and faith based. It took me several months, but I accepted Jesus into my heart and he was able to finally get to work. What I can say is that I have never been mentally, physically, and emotionally tested like I was in the program. It chips away at all the hard exterior until you’re broken, and I mean that in the best way possible. You become broken and allow God, and the mentors in the program, to help put you back together. This is not for the alcoholic, addict, etc. that wants a quick fix. This is life changing, fate altering recovery. The results are incredible! I graduated from Freedom Fighters in March 2018 after 17 months. I decided to stay on for another 4 and a half years counseling and giving back what I had been given. I made the best friends in the world from my time there. I had a front row seat to God working and changing lives that were by all accounts over. I’ve seen hardened, hopeless men break down from what they’ve done to others, watched guys forgive abusers from their childhood, and broken families become restored. It doesn’t just get you clean, the program heals the person that started drinking/using in the first place. People don’t change right? Well if you graduate from Freedom Fighters, change is mandatory. On October 20th, 2026 I will have 10 continuous years of sobriety. Yes I did the work, but without God and Freedom Fighters it would have never happened. Today I am happily married to a wonderful woman that loves God. We have a house and a dog named Kylo! I work for a medical device company that works with surgeons, providing products and operating room consultation. My family and I owe Freedom Fighters so much. I’m grateful they took in a lost cause no one wanted and gave me a chance to truly live!

Freedom Fighters of Georgia Inc. has had a life changing impact on my life. When I entered the program, I was in need of direction, healing, and a fresh start. Through the guidance, structure, and Christ centered foundation of the program, I was able to rebuild my life and strengthen my relationship with Jesus Christ.
The program not only helped me overcome personal challenges, but it also equipped me with valuable life and leadership skills. I was given opportunities to grow, serve others, and develop into a confident and responsible leader. Because of the impact the program had on my life, I chose to remain there and serve for nine years, helping others who were beginning the same journey that transformed my own.
Today, I am working on projects building power plants in the energy sector in the office management capacity as well as participate in my current church’s functions such as helping lead Bible studies. I can confidently say that the lessons, discipline, work ethic, and leadership skills I gained through Freedom Fighters of Georgia played a significant role in preparing me for a successful career and life in general. The foundation they helped build continues to influence both my personal life and my professional success.
I am deeply grateful for everything Freedom Fighters of Georgia Inc. has done for me. They gave me the tools to succeed, drew me closer to Christ, and helped me become the person I am today.

Hey, my name is Greg Davis and I am from Dublin, GA. Growing up was pretty normal for me, I did have divorced parents but other than that I grew up playing baseball, football, and hung out with friends and played video games a lot. I actually enjoyed going to school as well and I really tried to make good grades. By the time I was fourteen about to go to high school, I became interested with wanting to know more about the party scene, I figured you had to do that to be able to fit in,in high school and it started with cough medicine, which led to smoking weed, cigarettes and drinking. By sixteen years old I had graduated to ecstasy and pain pills and psychedelics and was a full-blown addict. I had jobs throughout the next few years, but I couldn’t keep them long because of my addiction and by the time I was nineteen I got caught stealing and was placed on probation and violated it by a failed urine test and I was mandated to my first program. From this time until I was 35 years old, I have been to seven different programs, my addictions got me to a point at one time where I became homeless and lived at a home less shelter for a year because my family didn’t know what else to do. I hurt all of my relationships with friends and family and had given up on life and it wasn’t until I came here to Freedom Fighters of Georgia that I truly experienced the love of Christ. Through tough love and accountability and a structured process and the word of God taught to me, and how to hear God’s voice clearly in my life, I was able to experience freedom from the bondage that I was living in. Through this program and God working through all of the staff to minister to me, God has now given me a chance to have purpose and grow through the leadership development outside of the program to learn how to make disciples, share the gospel, and answer a calling and grow in addiction counseling. Today, I have peace, purpose, love, and joy in my heart. And a beautiful fiancé to be married to in December. God has blessed me and I am forever grateful for God’s love for me!

 My name is Joseph Reagan. I am 54 years of age and I have struggled with addiction for more than 35 years. I was a poly substance abuser using alcohol pain pills and marijuana. My addiction had taken me to many dark places throughout my lifetime. I have been hospitalized many times from attempting suicide to multiple overdoses that nearly killed me. I was stuck in a cycle of hopelessness and pain and no matter how hard I tried to stop abusing drugs I could never overcome my addiction. My addiction has cost me dearly. I've had many felony charges for possession of narcotics spent many months in jail lost jobs homes my wife and eventually my daughter. Along the way I have destroyed relationships deeply hurt my family and loved ones and gave away everything that I loved and cared for over a little pill that had absolutely no value or worth. After my seventh overdose in 6 weeks and multiple felonies and arrests I found myself in jail looking at the reality of my life. It was in jail that I cried out to God and told him that I needed him. It was through a family friend and his recommendation of a Christian rehabilitation facility that led me to Freedom fighters of georgia. The love support accountability and spiritual guidance that I received from staff have completely changed my life. They spent countless hours pouring into me helping me to see that the only way for me to truly be free was through a close intimate and personal relationship with Jesus Christ. They loved me through years of denial that I had been living in and helped me see how I hurt everyone around me. They helped me with years and years of pain trauma and character defects praying with me and for me and showing me how to surrender these things to God and to receive the healing that only he could provide. Today I have a love peace and Hope inside of me that I did not have before coming here. I have been healed and delivered from an addiction that has been trying to kill me my whole life. Today I have a purpose for living and a passion for leading others to the one who healed me and delivered me and brought me back to life again. I am so thankful and grateful for all that this ministry has done for me and my family. I am overjoyed with the restoration that God has given to me. Today I have beautiful relationships with my family and friends and I am closer with my daughter than I ever have been. I am truly grateful for this ministry and so very proud to be a part of it helping others to know the love and healing power of Jesus Christ.
