We started 
with a vision
of equal access.

The pathway to sobriety is difficult with even the most caring and constant support structures.  Imagine the difficulties for those who are trying to break the chains of addiction only to find that the doors to those support structures are closed to them.  That's the reality for many in our hometown who have been told that the labels attributed to them make them ineligible for what should be an equal opportunity to get the help needed on the path to sobriety.  They have been asked to deny who they are in order to have a chance at a life free from Substance Use Disorder.  Shame is not a starting point for successful living in recovery.

Within the structure of the Twelve Steps, Door To Serenity was created to address the needs of those who seek our help on their road to recovery.  Door To Serenity welcomes the under-served who have tried unsuccessfully to address the pain of living through Substance Use Disorder and want to start a new chapter. 
​
Established as a 501 (c) (3), ​​Door To Serenity is open to the support, financial or in-kind, from those who share the vision of unfettered access to the help we offer.  We encourage all who visit us here to spread the word that there is a ray of hope for the disenfranchised and the possibility of living in recovery may be only a phone call away.  Our calling is to love without limit and to serve without judgment. 

​Lisa Teggart

After experiencing the deaths of family and friends who were not able to find the door to their own serenity, Lisa came to realize that she must do everything in her power to stem the tide of loss. In 2019,  Lisa pulled together a network or support to establish Door To Serenity as an Alabama non-profit and has not looked back. Today, there are three residential facilities in Mobile, AL, with more living opportunities on the horizon.

​Her goals for Door to Serenity continue to grow with the never-ending need for services.  Lisa and her wife, Laurye, continue to invest their lives heavily in the service of others through the auspices of Door To Serenity.  It is a mission of modern activism, a quest to win over hate, and a labor of love.

​Laurye Brunson

Laurye is Lisa's partner in this effort as well as her partner in life.  As a former agent and now Regional Director of Training and Development in the real estate field, Laurye is adept at navigating the finer points of building relationships for long term good and finding opportunities where none existed. 

​Laurye also lives out her own sobriety and she shares a heart for those who have no voice.  The communities who already feel the stigma of "different" and "unwanted" now find a warm, caring  heart and strong sense of dedication in Laurye.

Why we're here

We believe in the healing power of love in action.  Our lives have been made better by the love in action of those who paved the way for us and we feel a mission to make that same love in action a viable and sustainable option for those who choose to open the door to sobriety.

Because we believe in the infinite variety of life, we make Door to Serenity an open and welcoming haven for ALL who may have experienced (or caused) damage through Substance Use Disorder.  We are open to everyone who earnestly seeks sobriety regardless of race, age, or circumstances.  

We acknowledge and affirm the miracle that is God manifesting life and support all around us but do not require or claim a specific path to seeking that power and aid in the path to recovery.  Faith, like life itself, takes many forms and we support recovery rather than religion.
