🍂 THANKSGIVING IN RECOVERY

For many of us, holidays once meant chaos, isolation, or feeling like we didn’t belong.
This year is different.

At Recovery Residences of the Carolinas, Thanksgiving means:
• Sharing a home-cooked meal with people who truly understand
• Fun games and laughter that remind us joy is possible in sobriety
• A meaningful AA meeting together to stay grounded in our recovery
• Feeling a sense of family, safety, and belonging

Here, we learn that gratitude is more than a feeling — it’s a daily practice.
We eat together.
We pray together.
We grow together.
We heal together.

⸻

🌟 A HEART FULL OF GRATITUDE

This Thanksgiving, we celebrate:
• Your courage to choose recovery
• Your willingness to change
• Your growth one day at a time
• The miracle of being present, sober, and surrounded by fellowship

In this season of thanks, we are grateful for every resident who has chosen faith over fear and hope over hopelessness.

🌤 “This is a wonderful day. I’ve never seen this one before.” – Maya Angelou 🌤

At Recovery Residences of the Carolinas, we live this truth every single morning.
Every day our residents wake up to a day they’ve never seen — a brand-new chance to grow, heal, and build a life rooted in recovery.

When we choose to treat today as a gift, recovery becomes more than just sobriety… it becomes a spiritual journey. A relationship with a Higher Power that strengthens us. A community of peers who lift us up. A place where we finally experience the miracles that come from showing up, working the program, and staying connected.

Today is a wonderful day — because today we get to:
✨ Serve our recovery
✨ Strengthen our spiritual foundation
✨ Show up for ourselves and others
✨ Watch blessings unfold in our lives

Whether you’re here in the houses or cheering from afar — keep going.
Miracles happen one day at a time, and today has never been seen before.

💙 If you or someone you know is ready to start a new life in recovery, reach out.
Recovery Residences of the Carolinas — where hope lives, healing grows, and every day is a chance to begin again.

🌟 Recovery Residences of the Carolinas 🌟

There’s something powerful that happens when we slow down and remember what God saved us from.
When we truly look back at the darkness He pulled us out of, we begin to realize that recovery isn’t punishment — it’s protection. It’s grace. It’s a second chance wrapped in love.

Living in a recovery residence is part of that grace.
God doesn’t just rescue us and then leave us on our own.
He places us in a safe, accountable home where we can learn to walk again — spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically. In a way, He “babies” us back to life. He surrounds us with structure, guidance, and people who understand exactly what we’re going through.

Inside our homes, gratitude is a daily practice — not because life becomes perfect, but because we finally understand the miracle of still being here. Gratitude reminds us:

💙 God didn’t give up on us
💙 Our lives still have purpose
💙 We are worthy of love and healing
💙 The best days of our story haven’t even been written yet

Every day our residents wake up surrounded by people who believe in them — and we learn together that gratitude isn’t just a feeling… it’s fuel.
It keeps us grounded. It keeps us humble. And it keeps us growing.

If you or someone you love needs a safe place to heal, reset, and rebuild — Recovery Residences of the Carolinas is here.
You don’t have to do this alone.
God already made a way for your next chapter.

🌱 Don’t Fall in Love With Success — Fall in Love With the Habits That Build It. 🌱

In recovery, it’s easy to dream about the end goal — the career, the restored family, the confidence, the peace. But here at Recovery Residences of the Carolinas, we’ve learned something powerful:

✨ Success isn’t something we fall in love with.
✨ It’s something we build — one habit, one day, one choice at a time.

What changes lives inside our homes isn’t luck or motivation…
It’s a program of action. It’s a design for living that teaches us how to show up even on the days when our feelings don’t match our goals.

Here, success looks like:
🏡 Making your bed before the day gets away from you
🕊️ Being honest when it would be easier not to
📖 Attending meetings when the disease tells you to isolate
🧹 Doing chores because discipline becomes dignity
🤝 Reaching out instead of checking out

Those small habits — practiced over and over — turn into something bigger than any of us could imagine.

Because when we stop chasing success and start loving the process…
🔥 Long-term sobriety becomes possible.
🔥 Purpose becomes real.
🔥 We find a Higher Power who guides us.
🔥 And we become part of a family we can depend on — not just for today, but for life.

Recovery isn’t a finish line.
It’s a way of living, one habit at a time.
And inside these walls, we build that life — together.

If you or someone you love is ready to experience transformation in a safe, structured, faith-driven sober-living community, reach out. There is a place for you here. 💙

"HOLD YOUR FACE TO THE LIGHT"

Believe more deeply. Hold your face up to the Light, even though for the moment you do not see.
AS BILL SEES IT, p. 3

One Sunday in October, during my morning meditation, I glanced out the window at the ash tree in our front yard. At once I was overwhelmed by its magnificent, golden color! As I stared in awe at God's work of art, the leaves began to fall and, within minutes, the branches were bare. Sadness came over me as I thought of the winter months ahead, but just as I was reflecting on autumn's annual process, God's message came through. Like the trees, stripped of their leaves in the fall, sprout new blossoms in the spring, I had had my compulsive, selfish ways removed by God in order for me to blossom into a sober, joyful member of A.A. Thank you, God, for the changing seasons and for my ever-changing life.

✨ “Today can be the day when your heart is not homeless anymore.” ✨

At Recovery Residences of the Carolinas, we see this truth every single day.

So many of us arrive in early recovery feeling spiritually homeless — disconnected from ourselves, from others, and from hope. Addiction takes more than time and opportunity… it takes our sense of belonging. But recovery gives it back.

When you walk through our doors, you’re not just getting a bed — you’re getting a home for your heart to heal.
🩵 A safe, structured environment
🩵 Accountability that builds confidence
🩵 Fellowship with people who get it
🩵 Support, encouragement, and real connection
🩵 A place to rebuild your faith in yourself and in your future

Living in a recovery residence is where many people discover who they are meant to be. It’s where shame turns into purpose… where isolation becomes community… and where brokenness becomes the foundation of a brand-new life.

If today is the day your heart is ready to stop wandering…
If today is the day you’re ready to belong again…
We are here. And we believe in you already.

Send us a message to learn more about bed availability and how to join our community.
Your recovery, your peace, your new beginning — it can start today. 🩵🏡

“Imagine who will be impacted if you don’t give up… and imagine who will be affected if you do.”

Addiction and alcoholism don’t just steal from the person suffering — they ripple through families, friends, children, and communities. But recovery creates a ripple too — one of hope, healing, accountability, and purpose.

Here at Recovery Residences of the Carolinas, we know that none of us recover alone.
When you’re surrounded by people who truly get it… people who understand cravings, emotions, rebuilding trust, and rebuilding life… you’re reminded every day that giving up is not an option.

In this house:

✨ We lift each other up on the hard days
✨ We call each other higher when we forget our worth
✨ We learn that accountability is love
✨ We recover together — not separately

Because when YOU don’t give up, someone else finds the courage not to give up either.
Your story will matter to someone.
Your breakthrough will inspire someone.
Your decision to stay, to try again, and to keep going will impact more lives than you will ever know.

You don’t have to do this alone.
You don’t have to fight addiction by yourself.
You deserve a safe place, surrounded by people who want to see you win.

If you or someone you love is ready to experience recovery in community — not isolation — we invite you to reach out.

Don’t just imagine the impact your recovery will make — come experience it.

✨ Recovery Residences of the Carolinas – Women’s Book Study Night ✨
Last night, our female house gathered for our monthly book study, and once again Drop the Rock gave us exactly what our spirits needed. 🌿 This powerful book on removing character defects and working Steps 6 & 7 continues to open our hearts and challenge our growth in the most beautiful ways.

It was incredible listening to the insight shared around the circle — how truth, faith, readiness, and a humble quest give us the courage we need so that when fear knocks… no one is there to answer. 🕊️ We talked about the idea that courage is simply fear that has said its prayers, and how spiritual bravery often begins exactly where fear once lived.

We dove deep into self-righteous anger — how being “right” doesn’t give us permission to harm others, and how perspective has nothing to do with spiritual maturity. We reflected on how God isn’t keeping score of our defects… our defects are the things holding us back from becoming all we were created to be. Humility isn’t weakness — humility is right-sized living. It’s knowing we are worthy, valuable, and deeply loved… while also acknowledging our sincere desire to grow beyond who we used to be.

We explored humility as an attitude of active surrender, and we sat with the reflection questions in the text — questions that help us look at the value of our lives and the power we’ve been giving our defects for far too long. 💛

To be able to sit in a space like this — surrounded by women who understand, women who are healing, women who are willing to be honest and vulnerable — is an experience money can’t buy. Watching these ladies grow, soften, strengthen, and bloom a little more each month has been one of the greatest blessings.

At Recovery Residences of the Carolinas, we don’t just provide housing — we care deeply about the insides of our residents. We work the recovery walk side-by-side, encouraging character, spiritual growth, emotional maturity, and faith-in-action. Recovery is so much more than abstinence — it’s becoming who God designed us to be.

💫 “God doesn’t call the qualified — He qualifies the called.”
And together, we rise.

“Rabbit asks Bear, ‘What does it all mean?’

Twenty Four Hours a Day

Thought for the Day

I have gotten over my procrastination. I was always putting things off till tomorrow and as a result they never got done. "There is always another day" was my motto instead of "Do it now." Under the influence of alcohol, I had grandiose plans. When I was sober I was too busy getting over my drunk to start anything. "Some day I'll do that" - but I never did it. In A.A. I have learned that it's better to make a mistake once in a while than to never do anything at all. We learn by trial and error. But we must act now and not put it off until tomorrow. Have I learned to do it now?

Meditation for the Day

"Do not hide your light under a bushel. Arise and shine, for the light has come and the glory of the Lord is risen in thee." The glory of the Lord shines in the beauty of your character. It is risen in you, even though you can realize it only in part. "Now you see as in a glass darkly, but later you will see face to face." The glory of the Lord is too dazzling for mortals to see fully on earth. But some of this glory is risen in you when you try to reflect that light in your life.

Prayer for the Day

I pray that I may try to be a reflection of the Divine Light. I pray that some of its rays may shine in my life.

🌱 HEALING HAPPENS HERE 🌱
Recovery isn’t just about putting down a substance — it’s about rebuilding a life from the inside out.

When many of us first walk through the doors of Recovery Residences of the Carolinas, we’re coming in broken…
🧠 mentally exhausted
💔 emotionally shattered
💪 physically worn down
and spiritually empty.

But something powerful happens when we live in a safe home surrounded by people who understand.
A fellowship forms.
Hope is shared.
Faith grows.
And slowly, we learn to love ourselves again.

Here, we practice a spiritually-based program of recovery — not just in meetings, but in how we live, speak, support, and show up for one another. We build confidence in who we are becoming and learn that we are capable of so much more than we ever believed.

And one day, we notice the shift:
We’re no longer the ones barely holding on.
We’re the ones reaching out — taking the hand of the next person who is hurting and saying,
“I’ve been where you are… and you don’t have to do this alone.”

✨ That’s recovery.
✨ That’s community.
✨ That’s why this environment matters.

Recovery Residences of the Carolinas
Because transformation happens when broken people become builders — of faith, of fellowship, and of a brand-new life.
