We are a group of believers that believe freedom is available to anyone that wants it. We are Christians called to be a bright light in a dark world. We come from all walks of life. Some of us work directly with the addict/alcoholic and their family members that struggle to be free. Some of us support Free N One in any way we can. We ban together with one goal in mind victory! We understand that we are in an ongoing war, but we also understand the battle is not ours but the Lord! Read More Follow Us Free N One is a faith-based approach to treatment with Cognitive Behavioral Interventions (CBT).

What We Believe

We believe that alcohol and drug addictions are symptoms of sinful behavior and negative emotions. We believe persons using drugs/alcohol and the love ones that are affected by their using must find freedom. We believe that this freedom is found in establishing a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and living His Word. We believe that the Church will lead the battle in the war against drug and alcohol addiction, once the Church has been trained in the area of recovery. We believe drugs and alcohol addiction crosses denominational lines so denominations must band together to win this battle. We believe that family members and loved ones are deeply affected by the addicted person’s behavior and recovery must take place.   We believe that this is a winnable war!

Read about the many Lives Transformed, Stories of Faith & Recovery from people introduced to Free N One

Allison Osborne
My name is Allison Osborne and I was introduced to Free N One when I was a teenager. I wasn’t ready to stop drinking or using drugs then and it would be over 25 years until I would attend another Free N One meeting. During the Covid-19 pandemic when all the 12 step meetings that I had been attending since I got clean and sober closed, I received an invitation to log on to a virtual Free N One meeting. I thank God that I did because this meeting was not like the secular, 12-step meetings I was used to. The Lord has brought wonderful, generous, and supportive relationships into my life through Free N One. I have found a home for my recovery in Free N One!
Amilcar Ronnie Lopez
My name is Amilcar Ronnie Lopez. My life is being shaped by the positive and the negative things in this world. I did not have a clue what was happening. I was told I was a bad person. Till I was introduced to Free N One by my pastor Bishop Frank Steward. This move by God got me on the right path. Today I have an idea of my purpose in life only God knows the outcome. Thanks to elder Ronald Simons. My brother in Christ who helped guide me to get to know myself through the process of recovery. I am knowing day by day who’s I am, before time when God mapped out my life. By staying sober one day a time I get to know my God and my purpose in life. I am grateful today. Praise God! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Arveda Rouzan
Arveda Rouzan At the start of my recovery, I was introduced to a clinical approach to the disease of addiction. I discovered in my outpatient treatment what alcoholism was and tools that would help me to not drink. One tool, was to seek a God of my own understanding. For me personally, I knew God to be Jesus Christ.
Outpatient treatment didn’t share in my faith, love and need for Jesus Christ in my recovery.
Once learning about Free N One meetings, this all changed and led my recovery into a faith-based journey into sobriety. Free N One taught me about the disease of addiction. Free N One has been a refuge for me to come and be strengthened not only clinically, but spiritually. Free N One has taught me, that it was Jesus Christ who saved me and Jesus Christ who continues to guide me one day at a time into freedom from addiction. These day-to-day meetings, has been a vital part of my recovery and sobriety.
Deacon Stanley
My name is Deacon Stanley I love Free N One because it allows me to glorify my lord and savior Jesus Christ. The scriptures talk about how our sin nature must be conquered. Which can only be done through burying our old man and becoming new in Christ! Amen and amen
Rhen R.
Hi, my name is Rhen R. It was like it was yesterday. I remember the question I asked Jesus. How do I stop getting high? I was addicted to crack cocaine, and other drugs. I had reached my bottom. I had fallen, and I could not get up. He answered my question by sending me to my first Free N One meeting. That was 35 years ago, and I thank Jesus for using Free N One as my vehicle for sobriety one day at a time
Robin Howell
The “Free N One” prayer line has afforded me the opportunity to grow deeper in my faith, closer in my relationship with God, as well as be a comfort and support to one another during difficult times. Most importantly, every weekday, we are on the prayer line, interceding for the nations, our community, our loved ones, those addicted to substances, the strangers on the street as well as what the Lord puts on our heart to pray for. Because of the prayers of faith, we have witnessed miracles and answers to prayers.
Eroll Cargus
Hi my name is Eroll Cargus, when I think of Free N One it means being free from drug and alcohol, free from my past, free from bitterness, free from selfishness, and free from self-righteous.
Evangelist Vivian Arline Hooks
Evangelist Vivian Arline Hooks, Free N One means being set free from the bondage of my character defects. Free N One also assist me on how to live a Christlike lifestyle. Today I am able to open up and share my experience, strengths and hope with others. I was also set free from being a codependent as well!
Jerome Gibbons (Texas)
“I believe Free N One saved my life. In 2010 my life was a mess. I was a dry drunk with addict behaviors, but when I started coming to Free N One I learned about my disease. I learned how to apply the steps into my life one day at a time and my life hasn’t been the same. I’m forever grateful for Free N One.”
Amicar Ronnie Lopez
“My life is being shaped by the positive and the negative things in this world. I did not have a clue what was happening. I was lost. I was a bad person. I was on the wrong path. Free N One was my Pastor Bishop Frank Stewart. This day was to set me on the right path. Today I have an idea of my purpose in life only God knows what’s next for me. Ronald Simmons my sponsor has been encouraging me. I love Free N One because it is based on the word of God. I am excited to know how my journey will end. I will continue taking it one day at a time. I get to know who I really am. Free N One is part of my life. Praise God! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!”
Arvela Rouzan
“At the start of my recovery, I was introduced to a clinical approach to the disease of addiction. I discovered in my outpatient treatment that alcoholism was not just about the abuse of alcohol; it was a condition that required a change of heart and mind. This meant I had to accept that my thinking and my behavior needed to change. Outpatient treatment did not share in my faith, love, and need for Jesus Christ in my recovery. Once I was introduced to Free N One, I discovered that Free N One is not only a faith-based recovery program, but it is also a structured meeting that keeps me focused on faith. I need to be nurtured so that one can be strengthened not only clinically, but spiritually. Free N One has provided me with a road back to Christ. These day-to-day meetings, too, has been a vital part of my success in sobriety.”
Deacon Stanley Robinson
“I love Free N One because it allows me to glorify my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The scriptures talk about how our sin nature must be conquered. Which can only be done through burying our old man and becoming new in Christ! Amen and amen.”
Robin Howell (Boston)
“The ‘Free N One’ prayer line has afforded me the opportunity to grow deeper in my faith, closer in my relationship with God, as well as be a comfort and support to one another during this critical time. Most importantly, every weekday, we are one voice in line, interceding for the nations, our community, our loved ones, those addicted to substances, the dangers of the air as well as what the Lord puts on our heart for his people. It is a blessing of prayer, a comfort in mourning, and it truly does move prayers.”
Lady Jeanine Blake (Palm Lane COGIC)
“Dr.’s Ronald & Waymon Simmons, as well as Free N One has been a blessing to me personally throughout the years. My husband, as well as some of my husband’s coworkers, were members of this life-changing program. They all attest to the fact that they wouldn’t have made it out of the lifestyle of substance abuse had it not been for the assistance, and godly guidance of Free N One
Rev. Dr. Clyde W. Oden, Jr.
“I had the privilege of being an A.M.E. Pastor for nearly 25 years. For a majority of my time serving congregations in Long Beach, Los Angeles, and Oxnard California. The Free N One program has been a part of my ministry to these congregations.
Our outreach ministries were directed towards the aspiring and licensed preachers of our communities. The Free N One ministries were a perfect fit for our Christ-centered faith interactions. Lives were changed and lives were saved. Many ministers grew as a result of their involvement in the various settings in which this ministry served our congregations. I would be remiss not to extol the vision and leadership provided by Elder Ron Simmons and acknowledge his faithfulness and commitment to a Christ-centered program addressing the problem of alcohol and other substances.”
Lisa Sim Beasly (Boston)
“Over 14 years ago I was introduced to Free N One Prayer. Each day since then I wait for the appointed time for the Prayer Line to begin since I live in Boston. There is a three-hour time difference so I get on the line at 8:30 while those on the West Coast get on the line at 5:30. Since that day the prayer line has truly changed the way we do things at home and in the lives of those that we pray for. We’ve seen people healed and delivered from serious problems. We’ve also covered certain in families and schools receiving jobs and shut-downs. The moving of the spirit between virtual call and a life touch is incredible.
The Free N One prayer warriors’ weather on vacation or away from home on business still find time to get on the line.”
Minister Carolyn Hamilton
“Free N One is everything God has destined it to be, it has opened doors for so many recovering addicts to live free from the bondage that the enemy had us boxed in. God using Free N One has literally transformed me. Being under the leadership of Dr. Ron Simmons has helped me to see myself going from the addicted person to the recovering, renewed person I am today.”
Elaine McGee
“Free N One has been a Godsend for me.  Not only do they offer help to overcome addiction to alcohol and drugs; but they also offer help to the friends and family members. Through Tough Love I became aware of how deeply I was impacted by my loved one’s addiction. I am grateful to have a place to have open discussion and sort out my feelings.”
Pastor Stephen Dyson
Free N One from it’s inception is an organization that dedicated to rebuilding lives. Over the years they have helped men and women who have experienced addiction problems. Their commitment is evident in the results they continue to achieve. Through faith in Jesus Christ they have become a national organization. God bless Free N One.
Paula Southern (Los Angeles)
Free-N-One has been a God-Send for me. Not only do they offer help to overcome addiction to alcohol and drugs; but they also offer help to the friends and family members.

Through Tough Love I became aware of how deeply I was impacted by my loved one’s addiction. I am grateful to have a place to have open discussion and sort out my feelings.

Dr.’s Ronald & Yolonda Simmons, as well as Free N One, has been a blessing to me personally throughout the years.

They all attest to the fact that they wouldn’t have made it out of their lifestyle of substance abuse had it not been for the assistance and godly guidance of Free N One.

Kimberly Almado
I’ve been a Free-N-One member for well over 15 years. I’ve seen many prayers answered, many deliverances, and a lot of people get healed and set free. I thank GOD for using Ron Simmons. God knew Ron’s love and passion for others. I thank God for every member in the ministry, as well as the Prayer Line we all play a part.
