Some days are easier than others, but every sober day is a step forward. And every step forward matters.

Keep going. You’re building a life worth staying present for. 💜

The hard work and dedication of our clients and volunteers from Kent Garden Club is definitely paying off! We love having the Kent Garden Club come out every two weeks to work with our clients in the garden, teaching them valuable skills. Our clients love seeing their hard work pay off and soon they will begin seeing the fruits (or rather vegetables) of their labor as the vegetable garden starts producing. Thank you to the Kent Garden Club for all the work you do for Our Hope and our clients!

Shout out and a huge thank you to board member, Dr. Dave Petersen, who recently took time out of his schedule to build and install some new shelves over at our Lyon location! These shelves have been able to help us organize an area that was in desperate need of a good sprucing up. Thank you to Dr. Petersen for all his help!

Kindness is a gift everyone can afford to give.

It doesn’t cost anything to be patient, to listen, to offer a smile, or to show compassion, but it can mean everything to someone who needs it.

A small act of kindness can change someone’s entire day… maybe even their life.

Give it freely. The world needs more of it. 💜

Let go of what doesn’t serve your happiness.

Not everything is meant to go with you where you’re headed. Some things, habits, thoughts, even people are meant to be released so you can grow.

Choose peace over pressure. Choose healing over holding on.

There’s something lighter, better, and more aligned waiting on the other side of letting go. 💜

Come see us on May 14th at the UFAM Rally!

Hope is a powerful part of recovery—and organizations like Our Hope Association are helping people find it every day. Unite to Face Addiction Michigan is grateful to have them join us as a Gold Sponsor of the UFAM Rally 2026.

Our Hope Association is dedicated to supporting individuals and families impacted by substance use through connection, education, and community-based recovery support. Their work centers on healing, growth, and creating safe spaces where people feel seen, supported, and empowered in their recovery journey.

Their presence reflects the heart of what recovery is all about—and we’re glad to have them as part of the UFAM community.

April is Alcohol Awareness Month. If you or someone you love is struggling, you are not alone. Recovery is possible, and support can make all the difference. 💙

Be your own kind of unique.

You don’t have to fit in to be worthy. You don’t have to shrink to be accepted. The things that make you different are the very things that make you powerful.

Show up as you are, unapologetically, authentically, and fully. The right people will recognize your light. 💜
