Yesterday's Overdose Awareness Day event at Methodist University in Fayetteville, NC, was truly inspirational. We gathered as a community to honor those we've lost and to stand together in the fight against substance use disorders. There were moments of reflection, and yes, a few tears were shed, but more than anything, we felt a renewed sense of hope and unity.

This event reminded us all of the importance of breaking the stigmas surrounding addiction and bringing compassion and humanity to those affected by substance use disorders. Together, we can create a supportive environment where healing and recovery are possible for everyone. Thank you for inviting us to this event.

Event Sponsor Highlight! ✨ Triangle Rock Club - Fayetteville ✨

Thank you, for believing and celebrating Recovery with us!! We couldn't be able to impact and heal the lives of those struggling with substance use disorder without the generous donations of sponsors LIKE YOU! We are grateful!

Get your sneakers ready! We are about to "Walk the Walk" during our Recovery Celebration & Walk, on September 14, 2024. This is more than just a walk—it's a celebration of recovery, a tribute to lives lost, and a commitment to keep walking the path of wellness. Join us at 9 am at Blissful Alchemists or participate virtually. Let’s walk together and make a difference!

🌟 **Su***de Awareness Post** 🌟

We never truly know the battles someone might be facing behind closed doors. Mental health struggles often go unseen, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t real. It's so important to reach out, check in on your loved ones, and be there to offer a helping hand or a listening ear.

Today, we remember Zoe Sykes and the light she brought into the world. May her memory remind us all to spread kindness, compassion, and to stand strong in the fight for su***de prevention. Your voice and presence could be the difference in someone's life.
