You don’t have to fight your way into recovery.

Sometimes healing looks like slowing down. Sitting still. Breathing through it.

Yoga at 5:30
Buddhism Group at 6 (and every third Monday)

Come as you are.

I bought a bunch of wine today. Why?

1) because I attended a luncheon and this was a way to support (and as a non-profit, I know all about needing support)
2) because I have plenty of friends and family that drink wine and these babies were $10 a piece (hello birthdays and Christmas)
3) because the substance - (alcohol for me) is not the villain. It was a coping tool. It worked until it didn’t.
It helped numb the pain, quiet the mind and survive things I didn’t know how to process.

But over time, it started taking more than it gave.

So recovery isn’t being afraid of it.
It’s being aware of it.

We will feed those experiencing homelessness again this Saturday if we have any volunteers to help? Meet at Saint James Lutheran on Starling Street at 3:30. They’ll have the food ready to be prepared, boxed, bagged and then we run it downtown. Usually finished by 6pm.

Reach out via email: newrootsglynn@gmail.com

We want to continue this mission every third Saturday but we NEED HELP making it happen.

I was talking to someone close to me last night that mentioned she’d used alcohol again after a period of abstinence. And “no one is more harsh on her than her”. So let’s talk about it 💓

A setback or relapse does NOT equal failure.
Shame is what turns it into one.

Relapse or slipping back into old patterns already comes with discomfort. When we magnify it with shame, we don’t just feel bad, we disconnect.

And disconnection is where people get stuck.

Shame says:
“I blew it. I’m back at square one. What’s the point?” But that’s not true.

What’s true is:
•Your brain is still learning (neuroplasticity doesn’t reset to zero)
•You still have EVERY tool you’ve built
•You still have awareness you didn’t have before

A setback is INFORMATION, NOT a verdict.

Keep going!

Early recovery doesn’t need to be overwhelming, it just needs to be consistent.

Make a plan for this week to start new habits to reinforce those new neural pathways 🧠

• Make your bed
• Drink water upon wakening (before anything else)
• Write one sentence in a journal each evening
• A standing check-in with someone safe (that can be NRG 💕)
• Plan something to look forward to

None of these have to be perfect. Doing a little, consistently, is what actually rewires the brain.

In April of 2018, after 4 months of being in detox units, sober living and one 1013 hold all over Georgia, I’d been doing okay. I thought maybe I could “get it together” and took a job that moved me back to the town I grew up in.

Little did I know, I’d have one more WILD setback that would again land me in jail, detox and then packing my bag (at this point I only had clothes left) for another recovery residence. When I arrived, I had no will left to live. I wanted to wander into the streets of Augusta and drink myself to death.

But I didn’t.

After about a month of being cut off from the outside world, after realizing my son who I’d not been present for had every right to not want to talk to me, I surrendered to whatever idea I had of a power greater than myself. And then I worked on forgiveness for myself and others. And I realized how much I’d played the victim - even though I thought I was only hurting myself. I realized that if I didn’t know how to be alone with myself and not count on others and jobs and relationships to make me “okay”, I’d never sustain recovery. It was a true shift I’d never experienced any other time I’d tried to get sober.

In 2021, at 2.5 years in recovery, I completed the CARES Academy and learned about Recovery Community Organizations. That’s when I began taking steps to create New Roots Glynn. A place for people to come as they are. Wherever they were on their journey, to gain support at no charge. No matter their past or their pathway, an open door awaits. The biggest barrier to recovery is being able to go to treatment - because we are usually not in a financial position to go, nor have insurance to cover the stay.

New Roots Glynn turns 2 this month! Our Cruising for Causes event is tomorrow.

We hope to see you tomorrow, but if you can’t make it in person, we would love for you to support the work we’re doing by making a donation or purchasing raffle tickets (you don’t have to be present to win)

But, ultimately, to continue spreading the word that we are here.

Thank you for two years and counting! 🫶🏼
