Like the moon, recovery from addiction moves in phases; each one meaningful and necessary. 🌙🌟

No one should walk the recovery journey alone. Sending a Recovery Card is a simple way to remind someone that support is there for them, and that with every full moon comes the promise of new beginnings.

Did you know Community Reinforcement and Family Training, or CRAFT, offers strategies for managing the holidays (and every day)? CRAFT is a free resource for family members and friends of someone struggling with addiction (this includes alcohol, drugs, and more). It's a program available ONLINE! So anyone can join a group from anywhere. Groups are available in English and Spanish.

Alia Andrews, recovery services manager for Colorado Behavioral Health Administration, writes how CRAFT helped her cope with the holidays. In an article published in the The Daily Sentinel of Grand Junction she shares her personal story and a message of hope. "The holidays always seemed so joyful for everyone else. But, were they really? As an adult, I talk with so many individuals who had similar experiences to mine. Competition, commotion, fighting, and drinking were a part of life for many. In my middle age, I understand now that the holidays bring mixed emotions—and that’s fine."
