Nick Southwick-Hall grew up in Belchertown, MA with his loving mother and stepfather. In school he always struggled and never felt like he fit in and, at the time, alcohol and drugs gave him relief from those feelings. He began to live only in the moment without thinking about consequences.

His dependency on drugs and alcohol grew so great that nothing could get between him and his addiction including family, coaches, teachers, therapists and even jail. Eventually his alcoholism began to affect every aspect of his life and it took 5 different court districts, 18 warrants, handcuffs and a secured jail cell to disrupt his destruction.

Most of all, it took his mother’s love and the opportunity to enter a sober home, instead of 6 years of jail, to learn to rebuild his life. Now, Nick is helping to rebuild the lives of others. Honest Beginnings is more than a sober home. It is Nick’s vision to help others who have lost hope create and enjoy a sober lifestyle.

The home operates as a family and Honest Beginnings has grown into a loving community who support one another through some of life’s biggest challenges. In addition to the Honest Beginnings family, Nick has a family of his own, including his lovely wife Jillian, his son Grayson and his two daughters Acadia and Denali.
