This month, we are excited to feature Hickory House Alumni
Beau Whittaker.
In January of 2021, when Beau decided he was ready to get
help for his substance use disorder, like many, he began searching for options
online. When he discovered Hickory House Recovery, Beau made the call and soon
traveled to Greenfield, Indiana, for treatment.
Thanks to his recovery and the care he received at Hickory
House, Beau has experienced a profound change in his life including healthy
friendships, a good career, and meaningful relationships. And while a lot has
transformed since getting sober, one of the greatest gifts offered because of
his recovery lifestyle is simplicity—something he didn’t know he needed.
“Life is no longer as complicated,” Beau shared.
While there were many aspects of Hickory House
that Beau appreciated, he shared a popular answer to what he enjoyed most —
“The food!” He’s grateful for many lessons he learned during treatment, but
perhaps the most important was forgiveness—not just for others, but for
himself.
