Easy Does It, Inc.’s Programs and Services include:

“What is for me will be for me.” – Martina’s personal mantra. I had two bouts of homelessness. Was in an abusive relationship. I would have died, but I took a chance on myself. I found myself here. I’m so grateful and I do not–will not–forget where I came from. EDI gave me the space…I stayed and made my way and created the space for myself. The connections that I’ve made with people–there are reasons that you meet the people that you meet. I am me, now. More me than I’ve ever been. I can take everything that I brought with me and be able to share it with the next. Use the time that you have afforded to you here now; don’t squander it. What a great feeling–getting to do the things. My peace is out there, and all you have to do is look at the sky. Every day I walk into the most beautiful sunrises–every day.  

"They gave me the foundation and the freedom to build a recovery system which I used as a launching pad for the rest of my life. I came here–had no job, no license, no car, no family. Fines. No hope. I was able to clear up all the wreckage of my past while I was here, earn a Master's degree, and restore the relationship w/my children and my God–that about sums it up. They allowed me to be proactive enough that my recovery was individualized to me, but within safe boundaries."

Staff was always helpful and caring and provided me with structure and balance to assist in my recovery. I also enjoyed all the extra activities that were planned to keep me busy.

EDI is a non-judgmental safe place for me. They set a pace I could handle and I enjoyed the structure of the groups and meetings. They also helped me get set up with other organizations that opened my eyes to other areas in my life where I needed help.

“I write this as I approach my 13th year of sobriety and a bedrock of my recovery foundation was laid during my time at Easy Does It. The mentorship I received from staff I still think of today, lessons that have served me so well in the years of early recovery. The community it have brought me into has also served as an invaluable resource to myself and my family. We are lucky to have an organization like this in our backyard and I will forever be grateful for the time I spent here. In the years of recovery I have also been able to work with EDI as one of their vendors and it’s safe to say they are the client that means the most to me. “

"I enjoyed the independent yet supportive environment EDI offered. The staff and community were essential to my success. They helped me build trust, set and achieve realistic goals. I was introduced to many different options to help me find my way. EDI even introduced me to new, fun, and exciting activities to help keep me centered and active."
