Welcome to I-AM-U Village
We Walk With You, Every Step, Every Struggle. Until Freedom Isn't Just a Dream, But Your Reality!
Yes. At I-AM-U Village, you’re never just a case or a number. Whether your need is spiritual guidance, legal help, or just someone to sit with you in silence. We offer one-on-one sessions, group support, and trauma-informed care from people who’ve lived through it and truly get it. No judgment. Just healing.
Yes. You are a person on a journey of recovery. Your experiences and any recurrence of substance use do not define you, and your past does not determine your future. You deserve growth, healing, and the strength to move forward with hope. At I-AM-U Village, we don’t just offer hope. We walk with you until it becomes your reality. It could be your first time or your seventh, there’s a place for you here. No shame. No force. Just light, truth, and a team who sees the Warrior in you!
You can volunteer, donate, or join our outreach team across Alabama, Mississippi, and the Gulf Coast. You could be offering your time, sharing resources, or simply showing up for someone in need, your presence could change a life. No one fights alone—not in this Village!
At I-AM-U, recovery goes beyond meetings. It’s a lifestyle of mentorship that has become the meal we share. It’s warriors rising out of addiction—now standing tall as leaders, fathers, mothers, advocates, and healers.
Brother Ray didn’t just build a program, he opened up a community of giants who in turn build safe ground for others. And the torch keeps passing.
Through our 12-Step Prayer Program, daily recovery calls, re-entry support, housing help, and community drives, I-AM-U-Village has become a spiritual and practical backbone for many still climbing out of chains. And for those who now reach back to pull others up.
Today, we tell bigger stories than Ray’s, which is how you know healing is possible for anyone. Many of us have been you… and so, we remain one with you, all the way through to lasting sobriety.

The story of I-AM-U VILLAGE started with the journey from Brokenness to Brotherhood, as walked by our brother, Ray Roberts.
When Ray Roberts survived addiction, he turned his survival into a sanctuary.
A person in long term recovery who knew firsthand, the ache of loneliness, Ray faced the dark nights of withdrawal, the judgment of society, and the long road back to self-worth. But he didn’t just find sobriety, he found purpose. And he kept his promise: No one else should have to walk this road alone.
So he built I-AM-U VILLAGE! A living, breathing movement that speaks one truth: “I am you. You are not alone.”
From the streets of Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas to the soul of communities that the world has forgotten. Ray has been reaching out, one person, one family, one community at a time,
"Sometimes living your truth means creating the space you needed yesterday..."
We are not a service. We are a VIBE!
