Better Life In Recovery

Rock N Bowl is this Saturday!!!! Get signed up and join us for some fun.

Quick reminder: if you're ever in a mental health crisis — or you're worried about someone else — you can call or text 988 anytime. Day or night.

It's not just for suicidal thoughts. It's for anyone who is overwhelmed, struggling, or just needs to talk to someone right now.

You don't have to be at your worst to deserve support. You just have to be human. 💙

What if the words you say to yourself are either helping your recovery...or holding you back?

In this week's Better Life in Recovery Podcast, we dive into the first agreement from The Four Agreements: "Be Impeccable With Your Word."

We talk about:
✅ Breaking free from negative self-talk
✅ Letting go of shame
✅ Speaking truth instead of fear
✅ How our words shape our recovery and our relationships

Whether you're in recovery, love someone who is, or work in the recovery or mental health field, this conversation offers practical encouragement and hope.

What's one positive truth you need to start telling yourself today?

The First Agreement That Can Transform Your Recovery | Be Impeccable With Your Word Have you ever stopped to think about the conversations you have wit...

Today is International Self-Care Day — and we want to make sure we're talking about self-care in a way that actually makes sense for real life.

Self-care in recovery isn't always bubble baths and journaling (though those count!). It can be:

✅ Going to a meeting
✅ Calling your sponsor or a friend
✅ Drinking water and eating something real
✅ Getting some sleep
✅ Asking for help when you need it

What does self-care look like for you? 👇

As BIPOC Mental Health Month winds down, we want to say this simply:

The unique challenges that communities of color face — in mental health, in recovery, in accessing care — are real. They are not imagined. And they deserve to be named, addressed, and met with real support.

We see you. We're committed to being a space of genuine welcome for every person in our community, every single day — not just in July. 💜

Something we want every person in our community to hear this week:

You are worth taking care of.

Not when you've earned it. Not when you've proven yourself. Not after you've fixed everything. Right now, as you are.

Recovery starts with believing that. We believe it about you — even on the days when you can't. 💙

Recovery isn't just about putting down drugs or alcohol—it's about changing the way we see ourselves.

In this episode of the Better Life in Recovery podcast, David and Josh discuss **The Four Agreements** and how these simple but powerful principles can help us break free from shame, guilt, unrealistic expectations, and the stories we've believed about ourselves for years.

Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone you love, or work in the behavioral health field, this conversation is full of practical wisdom and hope.

💙 Recovery is not about perfection.
💙 Recovery is about progress.
💙 Recovery is about discovering your worth.

Watch the full episode and let us know which of the Four Agreements speaks to you the most.
