Meet Us Monday: Christian, Alumni

Posted: July 21, 2025 | Author: Real Life Staff
This week, we’re proud to spotlight Christian, not just as a dedicated Peer House Leader, but now as a REAL LIFE Alumni — an achievement that recognizes his continued commitment to growth, accountability, and thriving in recovery.

After graduating from our program, Christian went on to complete REAL LIFE with REAL LIFE 2, the next step in our recovery curriculum. He is also fully engaged in our Continue Thriving After Graduation program—attending alumni-only meetings, participating in community meetings, and sharing how he actively lives out his recovery each day.

Christian shared his thoughts on his journey: “My sobriety and relationship with myself and others propelled me to not just stop at graduation but to continue my journey in a community of support and accountability. Being an alumni of a well-respected program carries just as much importance and significance in my life as a college degree.”

As a result of his dedication, Christian has officially earned his Alumni status, making him eligible to attend our upcoming Alumni Dinner as a guest of honor. He will receive a coveted REAL LIFE Alumni jacket!

Congratulations, Christian! You’re a true example of what it means to keep showing up and striving for excellence.
