New Roots Glynn

Glynn County. We have a peer trying to get back on his feet. Looking for a job in pool maintenance and repair, construction, plumbing, tile or concrete.

Someone who has been in recovery in the past for years, life did some life stuff and he’s coped with it with substances. He’s gone to detox and wants to get to work.

I am being abundantly transparent.

But I can also say that I, too, have been in the same boat.

And thank god for someone giving me a chance. Or I might not be typing this today.

Let me know if you’d like to connect ❤️

We didn’t have art tonight because Falyn takes the guys at Saved by Grace a weekly all-recovery meeting and I spent my afternoon speaking to, and with, teens at the Boys and Girls Club about opioid misuse, dangers and support

This event opened the door to a partnership with New Roots Glynn and the Teen Center, and I look forward to being able to start checking in with these kids on a regular basis.

🗣️ Friends. I’m sorry for two lengthy posts in one day, but I need to share this with you. 🗣️

We are a non-profit and the only way to grow is to generate income. 🌳 💰

🥁 I’d like to introduce Tiny Thrift at New Roots Glynn!

It will only be quality brands and items in
excellent used condition - or handmade 🛍️

It will also be an opportunity for volunteers or peers in need of community service hours ⏰

Thank you so much for supporting our mission! We want to be a foundation for peers in Glynn County for a long time

** when we collect donations like jackets/socks/toys at Christmas, that is 100% separate from this venture **

We are continuing setup this week, but give the page a follow - we don’t want to clog up our main page 🩵 we will post items on that page, or you can pop by starting next week!

This photo popped up in my memories today. This was 8 years ago.
The timeline for my sobriety at this point was 20 months, drank for 48 hours, checked myself into detox in December 2016, and in this photo had like 10 months under my belt again.

I had 2 jobs, a condo on the island, visitation with my son and a good group of friends.
But I had not healed on the inside. And when I went through a break up on top of all the other unhealed things - I went on a SPIRAL for about 6 months.

In 6 short months (after having long stints of abstinence) I would spend time in detox facilities 3 times, 2 trips to sober living, lose a job, get kicked out of a friends house and go to jail one more time.

Why am I sharing this?
Because I was obsessed with everything looking perfect on the outside.

I’d neglected healing the inside.

What’s most interesting is that once I healed Heather, I didn’t care what anything looked like on the outside anymore.

If you are looking for support for yourself or someone you love, that’s what we’re here for 🩷

Happy Monday!

We are out of the office today but available by phone or email 📱 💻

We’d love any coats/jackets donations (all sizes) to have available at our food giveaway this month - (10/30) also any socks and/or reusable water bottles you have lying around that you don’t use anymore. 🧥❄️ 🥤

No yoga tonight, our facilitator is out of town 🤍
