68 | Troy & Melissa Haas: We Just Want to Walk With People

June 9, 2026

Show Notes

One of the greatest gifts that can be given a person in recovery is presence. Company. Someone to walk with you. Someone to make sure you aren’t doing recovery alone.

For 25 years, Troy and Melissa Haas have been walking with men and women impacted by addiction and betrayal trauma. Out of their own experience – with Troy’s multiple addictions and incarceration and Melissa’s discovery of Troy’s infidelity & sexual addiction – came a process of healing, recovery, and wholeness. 

Their experience hasn’t been wasted. In 2001 they founded The HopeQuest Group, an organization offering help and resources for addiction treatment. Based out of the Atlanta GA area, they offer inpatient treatment, intense outpatient treatment, individual and couples’ counseling, and recovery communities for men in sexual addiction recovery (Walking Free) and women healing from betrayal trauma (The Journey).
