What does recovery look like to you?
In honor of Recovery Month 2020, we invited community members to share photos and describe how they represented “recovery” to them. Recovery is everywhere, so we also asked people to share photos representing personal recovery, family recovery, recovery advocacy, recovery pets, hope, recovery allies, recovery professionals, honor guard (10+ years of recovery) and remembering a loved one.
Thank you to everyone for sharing your powerful stories of hope and resiliency. We received over 200 photos!
MarishaMy son and I outside The Lion King, west end, London. Already we are recovering from a hideous family situation, even though I am still married to his father.
This picture means growth in Recovery to me. This is a photo of us at our groundbreaking for our new home. This means a place for our family to always come to, and be together. In recovery all things are possible. We together have found recovery, and are living dreams that we could never have imagined. Less than 4 years ago we were actively using praying that something would save us because we were unable to save ourselves. Today life is filled with hopes and dreams, family, safety and daily blessings. Recovery is possible for anyone...
JustinWhen I was not in recovery I never spoke with my family. Now that I chose a recovery we live together. This is my 83 year old father and me enjoying some sun! The connection and love we have for each other is so much stronger than it used to be. For that I am forever grateful.
This photo means the world to me, not just because it’s with my fiancé and my nephew. It means a lot to me because it shows that when you grow and recover it affects everyone just like your addiction does. I’m able to affect my nephew in a positive way. We were all wearing our sober squad shirts with pride to a family event. I have family that loves me and still supports me from my lowest times. And I’m even more grateful that I have sober support friends that turned into family. Recovery is family! Squad!
Miche'leIt is because of Recovery that my family has their daughter, sister, and my son has his mom. My Cheerleaders!! My family, THANK YOU FOR Believing in my Recovery journey. Love, Miche'le Cortinas
AdrienneMy sons are the most beautiful humans I have ever met! They are why I choose recovery! They deserve to have a happy, healthy mom that loves herself.
CaitlinI didn’t know how I would have fun when I stopped drinking. However, here I am 3 years sober and was upgraded to front row seats for Garth Brooks. I went to the concert with my sister, whose relationship I would not have today if it weren’t for my recovery. It is one of my favorite memories we shared together.
RuthRecovery has allowed me to be a better mother. An added benefit is my son decided to follow in my footsteps! Habits are contagious in the family, and that includes good ones too.
