There is no cure for alcoholism, but there is recovery.  Alcoholics committed to change can turn their lives around, and Pathfinders of San Diego has been showing them how since its founding in 1950.

The idea is simple and effective:  Sober alcoholics help practicing alcoholics stop drinking.  Thousands of men, representing nearly every walk of life,  have successfully participated in Pathfinders. The most important requirement for admission to Pathfinders is a strong willingness to accept responsibility for one’s own recovery. 

"Pathfinders saved my life. There is no recovery home that offers the tools for long term sobriety that was given to me like Pathfinders. I am forever grateful they gave me another shot at life when I had no strength left." -Mitchell R

"I went from being hopeless losing everything I cared about including family and self worth to learning a new way of life re-establishing not only my family but being a productive member of society happy to be part of an altruistic movement -Jared R
