Addiction does not take a break for anything. We must stay connected no matter what. Many recovery communities have created online meetings. If you need help, DM us and we will be here for you.
Great article about connecting during these confusing, isolating times.

Amid coronavirus, recovery community urges: Even if you skip 12-step meetings, stay connected For people in Alcoholics Anonymous and other 12-step programs, going to meetings and staying in community is critical. As officials plead for everyone to practice 'social distancing' many in the recovery community are making back-up plans: text chains, meetings via video chat.

Every single day clean and sober SHOULD BE CELEBRATED! 💫
you are a MIRACLE! 🔥🤘🏼
“It’s a beautiful day to be SOBER🖤
Today I share this not for me, but for the ones that need to hear “If I fu***ng can, then you can too.” ((And I mean this from the bottom of my heart!)). You really can ♥️
I love the life I’ve given myself, and it is all because I finally, finally wanted it bad enough. If I would of carried on, I’m not sure I would be here today💔
Go after your life, it’s right in front of you, darling ♥️
THANK YOU to all of you beautiful people for inspiring me, and giving so much light in such an important conversation, I love you” ♥️
We went to any lengths to use and drink. If we are to unpack the skills needed to go to any lengths we would find determination, persistence, cleverness and much more.
Those skills don’t disappear when we stop using and drinking. Yes we are completely powerless of substances however we are not powerless over how we choose to utilize those skills. If we choose recovery and go to any lengths as we did when we were in addiction, you will discover a life beyond your wildest dreams. 🌟🌎
We LOVE a recovery love story ❤️ Repost from .

“Sobriety has given me a chance to be a son, a brother, an uncle, a friend and yes a husband. I get to be there for the people in my life and have my actions show how much I love and care.”
Attending an inpatient, residential rehab is the first and most crucial step in starting a life without the use of drugs and alcohol. The work however, doesn’t end there. 💪🏼
The first ninety days out of rehab can be extremely overwhelming and confusing, especially if you’ve used for many years. You may not know any other way to live. Without guidance, routine and structure, the chances of relapse increases significantly.
At Bridging the Gap Aftercare we offer a Home-Life Reintegration Program that would see you or your loved one assigned to one of our experienced Sober Companions. The Home-Life Reintegrations Program is dependent on the needs of the client however this is what may be included:
• 24/7 Live in companion for two to four weeks
• Structure and routine through a new weekly schedule which may include meditation, exercise, 12 step meetings, service
• Escorted to work, appointments, 12 step meetings, family functions and fellowship events

“My initial feeling was to gloss over today with a comedy post but I know that I would only be trivialising my achievement because I’m too embarrassed to say how proud I am of myself.
So here I am, declaring openly that I am really fu***ng proud of myself whist simultaneously being embarrassed to be writing this so brazenly like the paradoxical human I am.
For me, giving up alcohol has been more than just side-stepping hangovers and not embarrassing myself at work parties - it’s been a route to liking myself again because this time 2 years ago, on a post-blackout/mid-hangxiety hangover, I didn’t like myself at all.
Feb 11th 18 My self-esteem was on the floor, my mental health was poor at best and my outlook on life would have been best described as Moaning Myrtle.
I made stupid decisions when I drank, put myself in dangerous situations, carried a mini cloud of shame and had told myself SO many times that I was ‘never drinking again’ that even I stopped believing it.
What I’ve learned is that if you can’t believe yourself then you stop trusting yourself and why would you like someone that you can’t even trust?
I’m not trying to convert you all to sobriety but if you are feeling sad, anxious, in a rut, whatever, I would urge you to put alcohol under the microscope as a possible contributing factor. Despite what marketing tells you, a cocktail is literally a depressant in a fancy glass and whilst I’m all for everyone doing what they want, we still need to call it as it is.
Wellness and mental health advocates constantly leave alcohol out of the conversation and all I want is for us to include it because you can drink all the green juice, eat all the kale or stick all of Gwenyth Paltrow’s jade eggs up your Vajay but the simplest route to being healthier and happier might literally be saying no to alcohol. No cost, no downloadable PDF, no trip to Whole Foods.
Thank you to the people who support me daily x”
Congratulations keep being an example of recovery ❤️🔥

FIFTY ONE YEARS, we cannot even fathom! Thank you for sharing ❤️
Trejo hasn’t had a drink or taken an illegal drug since Richard Nixon was in the White House.
The “Machete” actor, who became a he**in addict as a teenager, has been sober for 51 years.
Now 75, Trejo was 24 in 1969 when he began attending AA meetings while serving time in San Quentin State Prison.
Trejo grew up in LA and was only 8 years old when he first smoked w**d. By 12, he was drinking. Two years later, he started shooting he**in. He was quickly hooked and began dealing the drug.
Trejo attended his first 12-step meeting when he was just 15. “They tell you if you leave [AA or NA], you will die, go insane or go to jail,” Trejo says. “And I proved that right. Every time I left, I went to jail.”
Something clicked for Trejo one fateful day when a former inmate came to San Quentin to talk about his recovery. “That guy saved my life,” Trejo says. “He said, ‘Why don’t you join us? Before you do anything, just join us. Give it a try. What do you have to lose?’ It was kind of like an awakening.
So when I got out of the joint, I went back to meetings.” He has embraced the spirit of giving back and helping others as means of maintaining his own sobriety.
“Everything good that has happened to me has happened as a direct result of helping someone else — everything,” he says. “That’s the way I live my life.” He regularly attends and speaks at 12-step meetings.
“I honestly believe this sobriety and being clean depends on your support system,” Trejo says. “You’ve got this system of people around you that want you to stay clean and sober.
If I’m driving down the street and I’m with somebody clean and sober and I say, ‘God, man, I sure could go for a joint right now or a beer,’ this guy will say, ‘Hey, wait a minute. … Let’s go to a meeting.’
I surround myself with people that are clean and sober.” “When I think about drugs … I think about having to shower with 50 men in prison,” Trejo says. “I don’t want to do that anymore. I don’t want somebody saying, ‘Hey, bend over and spread ’em.’ That’s what drugs mean to me.”
Power, powerful stuff ❤️

This is .uncensored our social media marketing girl! She works super hard to spread the message of recovery on our account!
“Hey guys! My name is Sonia and I am an addict. I have been clean now for seven years and a half. I entered into a rehab facility at the tender age of 23. I had no idea what addiction was, what recovery was and didn’t know any other way to live. After I finished my twenty eight day residential rehab, I was thrust back into the world with some tools under my belt and NA but little else. I was told in rehab to change my playmates and playground, so I did. But that left me completely isolated and alone. I was too afraid to go to NA meetings alone. As a result of my isolation, loneliness and inability to deal with my emotions, I ended up relapsing. My last relapse landed me in hospital. I couldn’t go on anymore using.
After some research online, I found an Aftercare service that offered a Sober Companion who would spend two weeks taking me to meetings, attending fellowship events with me, helping me find a Sober Living house, attending appointments and slowly starting to show me how to live life without the use of drugs and alcohol. Since then, I was able to build a recovery foundation on my own, which has given me a life beyond my wildest dreams.
I cannot stress enough how important it is for services such as Bridging the Gap Aftercare to exist. I truly believe completing a residential rehab for thirty - ninety days is not enough for an addict/alcoholic who has only ever known using and drinking for most of their lives. We need that extra bit of support transitioning back into the world as clean and sober humans. We need to be shown how it is done to learn and be capable of doing it for ourselves! Aftercare Services such as Bridging the Gap are short term investments for long term gain.” (I chose this photo as it reminds me of a moment in time when I felt completely free and happy!)🤗
