Monthly inspiration and tips to support your recovery.
Why is recovery SO. Dang. Hard?
If you’ve been through the recovery process, or are in the thick of it now, that question has likely hammered against your head more than once. And probably these questions too: What am I doing wrong? Shouldn’t this be easier?
Guilt and shame are toxic
As a non-profit, we’ve learned that our community is pretty amazing. We know it can be a place where people feel safe; where no one feels guilt, shame or ultimatums around asking for help with substance use problems.
What’s your Story?
We can all probably remember a time when we’ve gotten super inspired by what someone else has accomplished or experienced. This is totally true for recovery as well. When we can lean into the knowledge that someone else has gone through the same battle that we’re facing, we don’t feel so alone.
Here’s why we go the extra mile.
We believe in every client’s ability to become strong, resilient and healthy. And we know that going the extra mile with support and compassion really empowers people to take positive steps forward toward recovery, sobriety and a brighter future.
