Recovery Stories

Real Voices. Real Victories.

Sobriety isn’t just a destination—it’s a journey. Whether you’re one day in or ten years sober, your story matters. These voices represent the strength, hope, and resilience within our community. Read, reflect, and when you’re ready—share yours.

Tell your truth. Inspire someone else. We all start somewhere. Your story could be the exact message someone needs to take their first step. Share your journey—your struggles, your milestones, and how you’ve stayed the course.

Here are some ideas:

  • When did you decide to get sober?

  • What helped you the most?

  • What keeps you going?

Speak to the version of you that still lies ahead. Recovery is a lifelong practice. Leave a reminder to your future self—whether it’s a celebration of how far you’ve come, or encouragement for when things feel tough.

Here are some ideas:

  • “Don’t forget how strong you are.”

  • “This too shall pass.”

  • “Here’s what you’ve already survived…”

Some things are hard to say—say them here. Sometimes the words we wish we’d said, or hope to say one day, are the ones that bring healing. This is your space to write to someone who made an impact—positive or painful—on your recovery.

Here are some ideas:

  • A thank-you to someone who stood by you

  • An apology to someone you hurt

  • A goodbye to someone you had to let go

If only they knew then what you know now. Think back to the moment before everything changed. What would you tell your younger self? What wisdom could have helped you through?

Here are some ideas:

  • “You are worthy of love—even when you feel broken.”

  • “Ask for help sooner.”

  • “You didn’t deserve what happened to you.”

Jasmine, 34

“I woke up in a hospital room with no memory of how I got there. That was my turning point. I’ve been sober for 14 months now. I still have hard days, but I’ve learned how to sit with them without running away.”

From Me, To Me

“You’re still here. You’re still trying. That’s enough.”

Tyler, 28

“Mom, I know I hurt you. I got sober for myself—but you were the reason I believed I could.”

Luis, 30

“You are not your worst moment. You’re stronger than the thing trying to break you.”

Nicole, 38

“You’re not broken. You were trying to survive. Ask for help sooner.”

Anthony, 42

“My rock bottom wasn’t dramatic. It was quiet. I missed my daughter’s recital because I passed out again. That night, I chose change.”

Emily, 33

“Celebrate the small wins. Don’t chase perfection—chase peace.”

Dani, 25

“To my best friend — I miss you. You didn’t make it out. I’m staying clean for both of us now.”

Anonymous

“Even if nobody else says it: I believe in you. You’ve got this.”

Chris, 44

“Stop chasing numbness. Feel it all. It means you’re alive.”

Maria, 27

“I was the life of the party—until the party never stopped. Sobriety taught me how to feel everything again. I’m 10 months clean, and every emotion is a reminder that I’m alive.”

James, 29

“Don’t forget what it felt like to hit bottom. Let it remind you why you keep climbing.”

Greg, 45

“To my daughter—I’m sorry I wasn’t the dad you needed. I’m trying to be now.”

Simone, 32

“If you're reading this and you're struggling—take one deep breath. That's all you have to do right now.”

Brianna, 22

“You don’t have to keep proving your worth. You already have it.”
