Small steps still count. 💙

Progress doesn’t always look dramatic. Sometimes it’s choosing to keep going, asking for support, getting through a hard day, or trying again tomorrow.

Small steps are proof you’re still moving forward.

❤️ The Power of Community ❤️

We had another wonderful evening at our second Reentry Supper, bringing community members together to share a meal, build connections, and remind one another that no one has to navigate life’s challenges alone.

A huge thank you to Olivet Lutheran Church for serving a delicious baked potato bar and helping make the evening special! 🥔 Your generosity and willingness to show up for our community mean so much.

We also want to give a special thank you to Karmen, our guest speaker, for courageously sharing her personal experience with reentry, recovery, and navigating life’s difficult moments. Her story was a powerful reminder that while the road may not always be easy, challenges can be overcome, growth is possible, and there is hope in moving forward.

Nights like these remind us why community matters. When we come together, share our experiences, and make space for understanding rather than judgment, we create opportunities for connection, encouragement, and change. Reentry is not a journey anyone should have to take alone, and a supportive community can make all the difference.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, shared a meal, listened, and helped create an environment where people feel welcomed and supported. Together, we can build a stronger community where everyone has the opportunity for a fresh start. 💙

F5 Project - Minot hosted its monthly Re-Entry Supper last night. Thank you, Wade for sharing your story!

Last night at our Reentry & Connection Meal, we had the privilege of hearing from Wade Duchaine, who shared a powerful story of family, addiction, criminal justice involvement, and ultimately, redemption.

Wade spoke openly about being involved in the criminal justice system from the age of 13 and how addiction became deeply rooted in his family and his life. But his story didn’t end there.

Today, Wade’s focus is simple but powerful: being a good dad, being a good person, and giving back to the community he once felt lost in through criminal activity and addiction.

His story was a beautiful reminder that reentry is about so much more than coming home. It’s about reconnecting. Rebuilding relationships. Finding purpose. And becoming part of a community again.

Wade did an incredible job reminding us that people are more than their past, and that change is possible when someone is given the opportunity, support, and connection to create something different.

Thank you, Wade, for sharing your story and for reminding us why these conversations matter. ❤️

Your past may be part of your story, but it does not have to be the end of it.

From our F5 Project - Williston - Watford City office:

September is Recovery Month 🖤❤️

Meet Gina, Care Coordinator and Peer Support for the Williston an Watford City area.

"I've been thinking a lot about what recovery really means to me.

My story isn't a perfect one. I didn't get sober because life suddenly became easy. I got sober because I knew I couldn't keep living the way I was living.

Then life happened in ways I never could have imagined.

I lost my son, Tyler. I experienced a kind of grief I didn't know a person could survive. And I had a choice to make—would I go back to the things I once used to numb the pain, or would I learn to walk through the pain sober?

By God's grace, I chose to keep walking.

That doesn't mean I've never struggled. I've had hard days. I've questioned things. I've cried. I've wanted to understand why. But today, I don't have to drink to get through those moments.

God has slowly taken the broken pieces of my life and given them purpose.

The woman who once needed someone to believe in her now gets the privilege of sitting beside people who are struggling and saying, “I believe there is more for you.”

That's what recovery means to me.

And every day I get to help someone else find their way forward, I am reminded that God can use even the hardest parts of our story.

My past will always be part of my story. Tyler will always be part of my story. But neither one gets to write the ending.

I'm still here. I'm still sober. I'm still healing. And I'm still going.

If you're struggling today, please know this: your story isn't over. Keep going. ❤️

💜 As we wrap up Recovery Month, we would like to honor our peer support Danielle's story! 💜

"I was trapped in a cycle of domestic violence, addiction, fear, shame, and self-destruction. Incarceration and federal indictments became part of my story, and I believed my mistakes, trauma, and circumstances would define the rest of my life. I felt powerless, broken, and stuck, unable to see a way forward.

I chose to fight for my life. Through recovery, reentry, and the unwavering support of the F5 Project, I reclaimed my power and rewrote my story. Sobriety gave me freedom. Healing gave me a purpose. Courage replaced fear, hope replaced shame, and stability replaced chaos.

Today, I am not defined by my past. I am defined by my resilience. I have transformed pain into purpose, obstacles into opportunities, and survival into a life I am proud to live. The same experiences that once nearly destroyed me now fuel my passion for helping others find their own path to recovery and freedom.

My story is not about what happened to me. It is about what I overcame.

I am living proof that recovery works, that second chances matter, and that no matter how broken you feel, transformation is possible."
