📣 Tonight’s Friends and Family Night Speaker 📣

We are excited to have Ben J. back with us tonight for his rescheduled Friends and Family Night event.

Ben’s story is one of loss, surrender, hard work, and spiritual growth. He once had everything he wanted in life and watched it all fall apart. He received the gift of recovery at Discovery Place, turned away from it, burned his life down while sober, and eventually reached a point of true surrender.

Over the last two years he has walked through a difficult divorce, worked a steady day job as a bug man, and fully committed himself to the 12 Steps. Today he sponsors other men, started a men’s meeting, and takes meetings into treatment and detox centers. His life may not look like what he expected, but it is healthier and more fulfilling than he ever imagined.

📍 Dinner: 5 to 6 PM
📍 Speaker: 7 PM

Come out tonight for fellowship and a powerful message of experience, strength, and hope from a man who lives recovery one day at a time.

Today we’re kicking off a week of gratitude here at Discovery Place, and we’re starting with some of our favorite coworkers.

We’re thankful for the Dogs of Discovery Place. Huck, Finn, Piper, Choco, and Milo bring a kind of calm and joy to campus that no one else can. Whether they’re greeting guests, supervising from the porch, or taking their well earned afternoon naps after a busy morning of “helping,” they make this place feel like home.

Here’s to the pups who keep spirits high and remind us every day that recovery can include moments of real comfort and warmth.

We’re excited to share that Jackson O. has been promoted to Admissions Coordinator at Discovery Place.

Earlier this year we talked about Jackson’s heart for helping others and the impact he’s already had on the men who walk through our doors. This promotion is a natural next step for someone who shows up with humility, empathy, and a genuine desire to guide families through one of the hardest moments of their lives.

Jackson’s own recovery has shaped him into the steady, dependable presence he is today, and we’re grateful to have him serving on the front lines of admissions.

Congratulations, Jackson. We’re proud of you and grateful you’re part of the Discovery Place family.

Wellness isn’t just a bonus—it’s foundational to recovery. Our latest article, The 8 Essentials of Wellness, explores how emotional, financial, environmental, intellectual, occupational, social, physical, and spiritual wellness each play a crucial role in long-term sobriety.

At Discovery Place we believe that recovering from addiction means caring for the whole person—not just the symptom. These eight dimensions give us a roadmap for a healthier, more balanced life shaped by purpose and community.

Discover the 8 essentials of wellness that support lasting recovery, from physical health to emotional and spiritual growth.

Step 11: “Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him…”

Step 11 reminds us that recovery is a daily spiritual practice. It’s about quieting the noise, seeking guidance, and staying grounded in gratitude and awareness. As we move through November, this step encourages us to slow down and reconnect with ourselves, with others, and with the Higher Power that guides us.

From our Program Director, Adam L.:
“Meditation, over time, has taught me patience and the practice of being still, no matter what’s happening around me. We drink and use to avoid reality, but meditation and prayer allow me to experience it fully. Step 11 invites me to be present, to connect with God as I understand Him, and to simply be where I am.”

Recovery isn’t just about removing the things that held us back. It’s about building a relationship with something greater that keeps us moving forward.
