BEAR - A Recovery Movement

Hi, I’m Brenton, founder of BEAR.

I’m a former pastor, and I’ve been in recovery for over 4 years. Today I get to help others find what carried me: community and aftercare.

Swipe to see how we’re doing it:
🐻 Bearcrawl for Recovery
💛 Aftercare scholarships, made possible by generous donors
🌅 The impact aftercare has on recovery journeys

Together, we will change the game.

DM “BEAR” to join us, or visit bearrecovery.org.

We could all use a little more hope. 🤍

I’ve learned that recovery doesn’t happen alone. It happens because someone shared their story, and someone else heard it and thought, maybe I can do this too.

That’s why I’m excited to tell you about The Aftercare Affect, coming soon. It’s an interview-style platform where people share what aftercare has meant for their recovery journey. Real stories and real healing, told in their own words.

Because aftercare is where the work continues: the sober community, the support, and the people who show up on day 1 and day 1,000.

Our story might be exactly what someone else needs to hear today. 🐻

If you want to share your experience, DM/Comment “STORY.”

Whether you’re newly sober, years into long-term recovery, or still figuring it out one day at a time, there’s a seat for you here.

Coming soon. Stay close.

Donations fund the scholarships. Event Sponsors help BEAR show up. Long-term partners help us plan ahead, make promises, and keep them.

That’s why we’re launching the Crawl Collective: a circle of partners who stay in it with us, not just for one event but for the long haul.

Here’s what that support does. Treatment is the start, and aftercare is where recovery holds. Every partnership helps fuel the mission of providing aftercare scholarships that keep someone supported after they leave treatment.

If your business or organization wants to be part of something that lasts, we’d love to crawl with you.

DM us “COLLECTIVE” to start the conversation.
