Hope Manor
A Sober Living Homes

At Hope Manor Sober Living Homes our mission is to provide an environment where people can apply the tools of recovery in a safe and stable environment in an effort for the individual to realize true freedom in sobriety. Our message speaks to the power of recovery to change lives, that suffering can be eliminated and that life can be full of purpose and meaning. T

he foundation of our new life in recovery is rigorous honesty, service to others and personal responsibility. At Hope Manor we freely share the tools and methods of our common success 1) physical sobriety, 2) emotional sobriety and 3) spiritual sobriety; living life sober one day at a time. Finances and living conditions are often in disarray. Credit may have been completely destroyed and resources for safe sober places to stay may have all but vanished in the wake of their disease. Research shows that the #1 factor for success in early recovery is environment. So at Hope Manor we have taken great care to see that the time spent in sober living is done in a setting that is conducive to reflection followed by action. Our homes are designed to create a sense of comfort and security that allows our residents to let go of the physical concerns and focus on the personal journey that lies ahead. We address each of these concerns by offering the newly sober person a warm and embracing, fully furnished place to live, at an affordable price. We are within 4 miles of more than sixty 12 Step meetings per week and the structure of our program is designed to teach the newly sober person how to get active in the recovery community. The most critical component to this plan for recovery is willingness and time. Addiction cannot be treated in 7 or 21 days. Most newly sober alcoholics and drug addicts need an environment strongly committed to supporting their new found sobriety. We do it one day at a time around here, and we do it together. At Hope Manor, our residents learn that long term recovery is about finding new tools and practicing them in daily life. It would be easy to promote the idea that this is a simple process, but it wouldn’t be honest. The path we share with the people who live in Hope Manor is based on the 12 Steps, successfully used in recovery programs like Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous for the better part of a century. Research shows that the 12 Step approach for alcoholism and addiction has been proven to be the most successful in producing long term results. Hundreds of thousands of once hopeless men and women around the world have stayed sober and gone on to embrace life with power, responsibility, dignity and courage. Daily attendance at 12-Step groups is a way of life at Hope Manor and we also utilize spiritual teachers, workshops, retreats and seminars to assist our residents. "We have been called to heal wounds, to unite what has fallen apart, and to bring home any who have lost their way."

✨NationalRecovery Month – From Regret to Redemption: One Woman’s Second Chance at Hope Manor✨

As National Recovery Month continues, we share today the story of a participant who knows firsthand that recovery isn’t always a straight line and that coming back is just as courageous as starting. She left Hope Manor once, and the road that followed was hard: family hurt, prison, and a return to the very behaviors she thought she’d left behind. But something in her had finally had enough. She came back, beat down, but not broken, and chose to rebuild. Today, just over 2 months into this new chapter, she’s not just working on her own recovery; she’s determined to be a light for someone else who needs to see that it’s possible. Here is her story:

“I needed a safe place where I could rebuild my life. I returned to Hope Manor beat down by my own actions. I was indicted, sent to prison, continued to use drugs, in and out of recovery, and I honestly got sick of my behaviors. I got sick of myself. I can remember always regretting that I didn't fulfill my commitment at Hope Manor. Just over 2 months ago, I was able to come back. I am working on rebuilding my life. I am forever grateful for the support and love I receive at Hope Manor.

I desperately needed the support, structure, and discipline that Hope Manor offers. In the past, I wanted to get sober for myself, and while I still want and need that today, I want to be able to inspire others too. I want to be the reason someone else sees they can start this journey of recovery, too. I feel so good this time around in recovery, and I want others to experience that life in sobriety is not only accessible, it's worth it. Life doesn't end when we choose recovery. It is the start of something beautiful, even if it's messy.”

Recovery doesn’t ask us to be perfect; it asks us to keep putting in effort. Hope Manor is proud to be that safe place, that structure, and that community for anyone ready to try again. Kristen, thank you for trusting us with your journey, and for showing the rest of our community what it looks like to turn regret into resolve.

✨National Recovery Month - From Barely Hanging On to Holding Others Up: Joelle’s Story✨

Every September, Hope Manor pauses to celebrate something bigger than any one story: the sheer possibility of recovery. National Recovery Month is our chance to hand the microphone to those who know this journey best, our current participants and alums, and let them tell their stories in their own words about what it took to get them here. Some arrived ready for change. Others arrived resistant, resentful, or simply out of options. What they all have in common is what happened next: a home that told them the truth, a community that held them accountable, and a path that proved recovery isn’t just possible, it’s happening, right here, every single day. This month, we invite you to read these stories not as tales of individuals, but as proof, for every individual and family still struggling with alcoholism and addiction, that recovery is real, hope is not out of reach, and a new life is possible.

Today we share the story of a woman who nearly lost her life to addiction; not once, but three times. What brought her back wasn’t willpower alone; it was her mother’s voice, a moment of surrender, and the structure and community she found at Hope Manor. Today, she’s not just living in recovery; she’s guiding other women through it as an assistant house leader. This is what Hope Manor’s foundation of rules, structure, and accountability makes possible. Here is her story:

“Before coming to Hope Manor Sober Living, I was in my active addiction, and I was completely lost. Hopeless, if you will. Depression was deep since my last relapse in November, and I went hard. I overdosed 3 times — the last one almost took me out completely. My mom had to Narcan me all 3 times. The last time, though, being so close to death and just hearing my mom’s voice telling me to come back to her — it flipped a switch in me to where I was finally done. Done being a disappointment to myself and my family, and done with my disease winning. Knowing, strongly, I had a purpose, and I actually wanted to find out what that was.

How did I come to Hope Manor? It took me a few months, some effort, and applying twice. When I tried again in February, I used a couple of days leading up to my interview. Thankfully, they could see I was barely hanging on, and I was accepted.

When I came to Hope Manor, I was afraid — you could drop a pen, and I’d jump. I was scared of the change I was about to go through, but the rules they had in place and the people around me, who kept me busy, helped a lot. One thing I’ve learned is that rules and structure are the foundation of one’s recovery. And you have to get out of your own way to change. Open-mindedness and willingness were all I needed to succeed.

What life is like today: I’m an assistant house leader at the women’s house. I was caught off guard when I was asked, but I wanted so badly to help others the way I was helped. I have a job I’ve had for over 5 months. I’m responsible, reliable, and honest with myself and others. I’m working with others and getting to walk women through the book that saved my life. I’ll forever be grateful for my new home and family. Actions speak louder than words.”

Joelle’s journey reminds us why we do this work. Recovery isn’t just about surviving; it’s about rebuilding a life worth living, and then turning around to help someone else find theirs. At Hope Manor, we see this transformation again and again: the fear of change giving way to purpose, and purpose giving way to service. We’re grateful to have Joelle with us and to have her helping lead the ladies of Hope Manor. Her honesty and genuineness help new women feel at home. We are honored to be part of her family. If her story resonates with you or someone you love, know that hope and healing are always within reach.

🎓 Comeback Class: The Whole Class, Coming Full Circle

Over the past few days, we’ve shared a handful of stories from our Hope Manor family who are furthering their education. Some of our students are putting the finishing touches on their GED. Others are just beginning their college journey, walking onto campus for the very first time. Several have been accepted into nursing programs and are ready to turn their own recovery into a career of caring for others. Some can finally see the finish line of obtaining their college degree, and some see that as a starting line, with their sights already set on furthering their education, some going on to obtain a Master’s.

Every goal looks different. Every timeline is their own. But what ties every single one of these stories together is the same firm foundation: recovery. For many of them (in school or not), where they stand today seemed completely unobtainable the day they walked through our doors. Some were barely hanging on, just hoping to survive. Today, every single one of them and so many more, whether in school or not, are thriving.

That’s the true impact of recovery: it doesn’t stop with the individual. A degree means a career. A career means stability, a paycheck, a family no longer in crisis, a household contributing back to this community instead of struggling within it. It’s a ripple effect that starts the moment one person admits they need help, and flows outward to their kids, their parents, their employers, their neighborhoods, and the local economy as a whole. When someone gets the chance to rebuild their life, all of Bismarck benefits.

None of this happens without a firm foundation to grow from, and that foundation is what Hope Manor provides every single day. Our donors help make that possible: it’s what allows someone to walk through our doors barely hanging on (with no financial resources and very little hope), and walk out with a diploma, a career, and a future they never thought they’d have. Or they walk out with the confidence that they can achieve difficult things and that they have the support needed to keep going through the trials and low spots we all face.

If these stories moved you, consider giving today (link provided in the comments). You’re not just funding a bed or a program; you’re investing in a ripple that reaches far beyond any one person.

To every student we’ve featured, and every one still working quietly toward their own goal, we see you, and we are so proud of you for chasing your dreams and knowing yourself well enough to know that you can do hard things! This is Comeback Class, and this is only the beginning.

🎓 Comeback Class: Rewriting the Story

For this participant in our 801 Dude House, enrolling in college has been about far more than earning a degree; it’s opened his mind to possibilities he never imagined. He credits Hope Manor with helping him see recovery as more than just staying clean. When he first mentioned wanting to go to college, we were right there with him, encouraging him to start the process and take the necessary steps.

“Enrolling and going to college has opened my mind to possibilities that I never imagined or dreamed of. It's showing me that no matter what I've done, or who I was in the past, I can change my future for the better. It's allowing me to rewrite my story and also equipping me with the tools to help others just like me rewrite theirs by being an example through my actions.

Hope Manor has helped me to understand that recovery is much more than just being clean, attending meetings, and working a program. It's about changing your mindset, growing as a person, and being willing to do what is necessary to maintain your recovery. Upon mentioning going to college, they got behind me 100%, from helping me schedule a campus tour to filling out my college application, but more importantly, encouraging me and providing a safe place to grow and thrive in.”

That’s the heart of Comeback Class: recovery isn’t just about what you leave behind; it’s about who you become, and the doors that open once you believe a different future is possible. We’re proud to walk alongside Tone as he rewrites his story, one class at a time.

🎓 Comeback Class: Finding Her Pace

For this alum, going back to school didn’t follow a straight path; it came with a hard lesson first. With a full life, two amazing kiddos, and multiple commitments, getting here meant making a tough call this spring: stepping back from full-time to part-time, because school had quietly started coming before her recovery. She had the wisdom and experience to know that without her recovery front and center, everything else begins to unravel. Choosing to slow down wasn’t easy, but it was the turning point.

“Classes started back up today. After work, feeding the kids, going to my home group, then coming home to fight with them to get them to bed, I'm finally able to sit down and open my courses. I am only part-time, so my degree may take longer than I'd like, but I am okay with that for now. I didn't feel that way this spring when I had to make the hard choice to switch from full-time to part-time. I want that degree so bad. But the reality was I had to choose school over recovery. My spiritual health dived, my family started suffering as I was spread thin trying to stay afloat and act like everything was fine. I can say that it was the best decision after putting my family and recovery at the center of my life again. Going back to school can be intimidating. Finding what pace works for you and not watching everyone else is the only way to make it work. It took me a while to stop comparing myself to others in school. I want that degree, but not at the price of losing what I have built and what has been given to me over the past 6 years.

I didn't think college was for me and that I was past that point in my life. I never wanted to go. In a lead-me-where-you-need-me kinda way, here I am, just doing the deal.”

Six years into recovery, she’s showing up and bettering her life for her and her family. That’s what Comeback Class is all about: choosing quality over quantity, making the tough decisions, and showing up for the life you’ve built.

🎓 Comeback Class: Turning Talk Into Action

For years, a college degree was something this alum always talked about, but the plan kept getting pushed aside every time her addiction won out. Today, she’s back in school pursuing a degree in Addiction Studies. She’s turning the pain of her own journey into purpose. She writes:

“I am finally doing it! I’m back in school pursuing my goal of earning my college degree in Addiction Studies. In my past, I was just a few credits away from many other college degrees, but my addiction always got in the way. I always chose my addiction over my academics. Being stuck in the life of active addiction, substance abuse came before anything and everyone, even myself. Today, my recovery, my long-term goals, family, and even myself are top priorities. These are things I neglected in my using days. I can honestly say I love the life I get to live every day! I’m beyond thankful my Higher Power had different plans for me and my life. I’m finally doing something I always “talked” about doing but always left it at that- just talk.

Thank you, Hope Manor. My life wouldn’t be what it is today if I hadn’t been brought into the family! Thank you, Hope Manor, for pushing me towards my dreams!”

What was once just talk is now action, and what was once neglected is now front and center. THIS is what recovery makes possible. When sobriety is first and foremost, the byproduct of building a life worth showing up for begins to emerge for those who keep striving. We’re beyond thankful to be part of that story with her.

🎓 Comeback Class: Rock Solid 📚

Today we’re kicking off our Comeback Class series with a story that says it all: a better life is possible, and recovery is possible.

Before Hope Manor, this alum had been through treatment roughly ten times, inpatient and out, with multiple hospital stays for pancreatitis and detox, and hallucinations along the way. As he put it, “I was a superstar in treatment, but out of it, I hadn’t built the positive habits and skills to navigate life outside.” Hope Manor helped to change by guiding him to build the foundation for the last three-plus years of continuous sobriety, and for showing up for the people who matter most to him. He tells his story eloquently below.

“Although I didn't stay sober continuously after my stay at Hope Manor, it did help instill some lessons that have contributed to my last 3+ years of sobriety.

I can honestly say that Hope Manor was one of, if not the best moves in my recovery journey.

Since my stay I have now reached over 3 years of sobriety from that nasty life of active alcoholism. This, in turn has allowed me to show up for my children, my parents and grandparents and family through some trying times.

I am now in my Senior year pursuing a degree in Environmental Geology. Just this week, I was asked by one of my professors to be a Learning Assistant for an entry level Geology course at Minnesota State University Moorhead. A role I am excited to attack!

Last semester I achieved something that would have been laughable for most of my life. I made the Dean's List with a 3.85 GPA. Entering MSUM one year ago I was on academic probation for the poor performance I put in there, approximately a decade ago.

Positive habits, accountability, and structure were paramount in moving forward as a productive sober individual. All of which were hard but valuable lessons learned at Hope Manor.

My path has not been linear, and my achievements slow, but the skills, structure, and love of Hope Manor played a pivotal role!

A better life is possible, recovery is possible!”

Stories like this are exactly why we do what we do. Recovery isn’t about perfection, it’s about showing up, one class, one semester, one day at a time. We’re so proud of him, and we can’t wait to share more stories like his in the days ahead.

🎓 Comeback Class: Hope Manor’s Education Spotlight Series 🎓

We’re so excited to kick off a brand-new series celebrating something incredible: the participants and alums of Hope Manor who are going back to school, chasing certifications, earning GEDs, and building new futures, one class at a time.

Recovery isn’t just about getting sober. It’s about building a new life, and for so many in our Hope Manor family, that means picking up a textbook, walking into a classroom, or logging into an online course for the very first time in years. Over the next few days, we’ll be sharing some of their stories, photos, and thoughts, including all the late nights spent studying, the proud moments, and the hard-won lessons that come with starting to chase their dreams.

Follow along, cheer them on, and get ready to be inspired. 💛📚

🐾 Happy National Dog Day!! 🐾

When Hazard was just a pup, he came to work with me every day, and back then, my office was right in the women’s house. They say it takes a village to raise a little one, and it truly took a village to raise Hazard into the amazing dog he is today.

If I had to be out of the office for a long stretch, he’d go hang out with the men of 801, or the ladies would take charge of potty breaks and lunch. He was our little Hope Manor hound, through and through. He brought comfort, purpose, and joy to so many residents over the years, and I know the feeling is mutual. To this day, when we turn the corner toward 801 on our walks, he’s on autopilot to say hello. I honestly don’t get a vote in the matter!

Our alums and residents have kept that spirit alive, too, stepping up to dog-sit, let dogs out, and take walks whenever we can’t get away. Dogs really are angels sent from above.

In honor of National Dog Day, drop a photo of your pup in the comments! 🐶❤️
