2024: Champions of Recovery

Look in the mirror, you must begin with that. Build from there; outward.

Just show up for a meeting. Any meeting…there WILL be someone there who you can relate to.

It is vital to have some kind of support, addicts and alcoholics lose at the battle of addiction everyday by isolating.

I have been very intentional about surrounding myself with people who support my recovery.

Surround yourself with people who want you to be better in life, who understand the struggle to want to hit an easy eject button when life isn’t on our terms, and know how to help you stay the course.

All I want to do is show people that there is a way out, that it does get better.

If you are still looking for a recovery community, I suggest finding people who remind you of the simple things in life that make you happy.

Finding a community of sober people is vital to my recovery. I strongly encourage people to “meeting shop” until you find one that feels like home.

Sometimes it is hard to be open and honest with a stranger. But reality is there are no strangers in the recovery world.
