It is often said that the opposite of addiction is connection, and it is vital for people in recovery – especially early recovery – to find a community of support. Community is essential for maintaining and enjoying sobriety, avoiding feelings of isolation, rediscovering self, and connecting with others who understand what you’re experiencing.

The end of a treatment program is just the beginning of a lifelong recovery journey. Laying the foundation for a strong support system through peers, groups, and other healthy communities with shared interests is essential to thriving and growing throughout your recovery.

Our team members have been devoting their time and effort these past few weeks to develop as many handmade masks as possible 💙

These masks will provide comfort and security while serving as an additional line of defense against airborne droplets.

Made with a tightly-woven cotton fabric on both sides, these reversible masks provide the best protection they can and allow for machine washing and are fully reusable.

We will continue to improve the masks as we source new materials and grow our hardworking production team.

Available now on Facebook, Instagram, and our website.

We are thrilled to announce masks will be available soon 💙

In response to ongoing circumstances, we’ve been able to gather necessary equipment and supplies in order to produce masks safely and in sizeable quantity.

We have plans for donations to local treatment and recovery organizations that are in need over the next several weeks.

Masks are currently available for purchase via direct message and will be listed on the site in the next week or so.

Thank you to all of those that have made this endeavor possible.

Being able to find your calling is essential for long-term recovery 💙

As Rylie puts it, “it’s important to find something you’re passionate about to stay grounded and to hold yourself accountable.”

Rylie’s calling is cooking. She is the full-time chef at the Pederson household and has begun sharing her creativity via Facebook, in the form of livestreams and video content. The love for her family combined with her passion for food have created something truly special and it gives her purpose and an abundance of joy on a daily basis.

You can find keep up with Rylie and her cooking endeavors here on Facebook (Mom Fueling Hungry Boys) or here on Instagram ().

We’ve created a movement to battle addiction .

Most are able to get into initial treatment via state funding or insurance programs. What happens after treatment is essential on the road to long-term sobriety.

It’s aftercare programs that improve chances of lifelong sobriety markedly.

Our goal: support people who need help accessing these programs.

Show your support today by sharing our content, using the hashtag , or wearing our movement on your sleeve.

We will combat addiction together 💙

“It’s not easy to jump into recovery, but every step toward it is something to be proud of. I feel more aligned with my authentic self and I’ve reshaped my life in ways I could have never predicted. Choosing sobriety was the first genuine act of self care I’d ever taken ♥️”
