Choosing recovery often means choosing yourself, sometimes for the first time in a long time. That choice isn’t selfish. It’s necessary.

When you take care of yourself, you’re also taking care of the people who count on you. Recovery isn’t giving up — it’s stepping up for your life.

Recovery doesn’t move in a straight line. Some days feel steady. Others feel heavy. But that doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong-- it means you’re human.

Progress isn’t about 'never struggling'. It’s about staying honest, staying connected, and choosing not to quit on yourself. Even the days that feel messy still count.

If today feels hard, keep going. You’re still building something meaningful.

A new year doesn’t erase the past but it does offer a moment to pause, reflect, and choose what comes next. For those navigating addiction or recovery, that choice doesn’t have to be loud or dramatic. Sometimes it’s simply deciding to keep going.

Recovery isn’t about perfection-- it’s about showing up, learning, and taking things one day at a time. If 2025 was hard, you’re not alone. And if you’re ready for change in 2026, know this: it’s never too late to start again.

From all of us at Foothills Recovery, we wish you a year of steadiness, healing, and hope. One step at a time-- that’s how real change happens.

Happy New Year. 🌳

Recovery isn’t a straight line. Some days will push you to your limit. But even on the hardest days, moving forward is still an option. Growth isn’t loud or flashy. Sometimes it’s just waking up, staying honest, and taking that next step.

Every day in recovery teaches you something-- resilience, patience, discipline, hope. Even the tough days count. Especially the tough days.

Your work matters. Your growth matters. And you don’t have to do it alone.

Some chapters of life are painful, messy, or hard to talk about, especially for anyone dealing with addiction. But those chapters aren’t the whole story.

Here's the real truth-- your struggle doesn’t define you. What matters is what comes next. Your comeback. Your healing, your courage, your choice to change is the part of the story that lasts.

Recovery doesn’t hit the pause button just because it’s the holidays. In fact, this time of year usually asks a little more from you. The pressure, the memories, the gatherings… it can all pile up fast. But there are ways to protect your progress and get through the season with your footing steady.

Here are a few things that can really make a difference:

• Make a plan before you go anywhere. Know your triggers, know your exits, and know who you can call if things get uncomfortable.
• Stay connected to people who get it. A quick check-in with a friend, sponsor, or someone you trust can ground you faster than you think.
• Set boundaries without guilt. It’s okay to say no. It’s okay to leave early. It’s okay to choose your peace.
• Keep your routine as steady as you can. Sleep, meals, movement — those basics matter more than ever right now.
• Reach out early if you feel yourself slipping. Don’t wait until you’re overwhelmed. Asking for help isn’t weakness — it’s wisdom.

Small steps add up. Stay steady. Stay supported. And remember: you don’t have to do the holidays on your own.

Today is a reminder that kindness starts close to home — in how we treat our family, our friends, and ourselves.

Be kind to your loved ones. Be patient with your own journey. Be compassionate toward others — you never know the battles they’re fighting.

Kindness doesn’t just change someone’s day — it can change a life.
