đź‘ŠWed 6pm 138 E. Taking Back Ohio is a grass roots Ohio 501c3 nonprofit whose mission is to educate, advocate, and support those who are seeking recovery from Addiction and/or Mental Health Challenges find it and keep it! We do this primarily through our weekly Open Recovery meeting's that use a Positive Peer Approach to help those seeking Recovery find their true meaning and purpose in life. Taking Back Ohio was started by a few close friends in recovery at the Sandusky Artisans Recovery Community Center in 2014 and welcomes anyone and everyone seeking Recovery from Mental Health challenges or substance use disorder as well as any supporters. This meeting is unlike any other recovery meeting that you have ever gone to!
>Taking Back Ohio is not a twelve-step meeting, nor is it faith based. We welcome those utilizing MAT as a way of achieving Recovery from SUD and all pathways to Recovery. The group chose for the meeting to be like this so that anyone from the outside who had skepticism or fear related to going to a recovery meeting would feel open to try this out! If you are considering living FREE from the bonds of addiction - YOU are welcome here.

Some moments just say everything… 💛

At Monday night’s Taking Back Ohio peer-led, all-pathways meeting at the Erie County Health Department, we had the honor of celebrating April and her latest recovery milestone…

18 MONTHS.
That’s a year and a half of choosing a different life.
A year and a half of showing up.
A year and a half of not giving up—even when it wasn’t easy.

You can feel it in this moment…
the peace, the gratitude, the emotion in that hug.

Because milestones like this aren’t just about time…
they’re about transformation.

And the best part?
She didn’t do it alone.

That’s what we do here.
We show up for each other.
We celebrate each other.
We walk this road together.

This is recovery.
This is Ohioans thriving in recovery.

90 days of showing up—even on the hard days.

You can see it in this moment…
the relief, the joy, the emotion…
the feeling of “I made it this far.”

That hug says everything.

This is Mark.

We first met him at his worst…
And last night, we got to stand with him at his BEST.

At last night’s Taking Back Ohio all-pathways meeting at the Erie County Health Department…
Mark celebrated 30 days sober.

30 days of showing up.
30 days of fighting through the noise.
30 days of choosing something different.

And if you’ve ever been there…you know…
👉 30 days isn’t “just” 30 days.
That’s EVERYTHING.

What makes this even more powerful?

Look at that moment.
That hug. That connection. That peace on his face.

That’s what this is all about.

Not perfection.
Not having it all figured out.
Just people…showing up for each other…one day at a time.

Mark—we see you. We’re proud of you. And we’re walking with you 👊

Our Story

Taking Back Ohio is an APG (Alternative Peer Group) meeting that was started by a few close friends in recovery. This meeting is unlike any other recovery meeting that you have ever gone to! Taking Back Ohio is not a twelve-step meeting, nor is it faith based. The group chose for the meeting to be like this so that anyone from the outside who had skepticism or fear related to going to a recovery meeting would feel open to try this out! We would love for you to come see us anytime - we are in action at 138 East Market Street in Sandusky, Ohio every Wednesday evening from 5:00pm-6:00pm.
