For Annette, becoming a Lighthouse Keeper was an easy decision.

“Beacon House saved my son’s life,” she says.

Before finding us, her son had bounced from treatment center to treatment center, leaving her uncertain if any program could work for him. Now he has four years of sobriety, and Annette believes our long-term approach and comprehensive support made all the difference.

For her, the impact goes beyond sobriety. She is grateful for the time she has regained with her son.

“The least I can do is give a monthly donation,” she says, hoping other families can experience the same hope and healing she has.

Through her support as a Lighthouse Keeper, Annette is helping more men find lasting recovery and more families reconnect with the people they love.

Your monthly support can make all the difference. Become a Lighthouse Keeper today.

This weekend, our men had a very special visitor.

The daughter of a Beacon House alumnus was visiting from out of town and wanted to encourage the dads in our program on Father’s Day.

Having her dad back in her life has had a profound impact on her, inspiring her to put together goodie bags for our men as a reminder that the work they're doing today matters.

Before arriving at Beacon House, Drew couldn't make it through a day without alcohol, and his health was rapidly declining. He tried short-term treatment programs and even moved to different states searching for a fresh start, but nothing seemed to work.

At Beacon House, working alongside other alcoholics became one of the most meaningful parts of his recovery. He learned to let go of old beliefs, develop a genuine relationship with a Higher Power, and how to forgive himself and others.

Today, Drew works as a certified substance abuse counselor at Beacon House. He recently earned his bachelor's degree from California State University, Long Beach and will begin graduate school there for Social Work this fall. Recovery has taught him that lasting change requires continual growth, so he keeps honesty and humility at the center of his life.

One of the most beautiful aspects of recovery is when people begin to reclaim their potential. That’s exactly what happened to Jesse.

Recently, he earned his high school diploma through Harbor Occupational Center and was selected to speak at the graduation ceremony. Jesse was also recognized with several awards, honoring his dedication throughout the program. In his addiction, Jesse struggled to finish anything that he started, but recovery has given him a new lease on life.

Congratulations, Jesse! Your hard work, resilience, and commitment to your recovery continue to inspire those around you. 👏

Just as an old building must be cleared away before something new can be built, recovery takes time, hard work, and steady support.

A group of Beacon House men recently joined San Pedro Historic Downtown Waterfront (PBID)'s Community Cleanup & Planting Day, spending the day sweeping streets, picking up trash, and helping beautify the community we proudly call home.

Recovery teaches us that growth comes through action, and this event was a great example of that principle in practice. By giving their time and energy to improve the public spaces we all share, our men felt a deeper connection to the community around them.
