There’s an important difference between being sober and being in recovery. 💖

Sobriety is about abstaining — it’s the decision to stop using substances. It’s a powerful, courageous first step that requires strength and commitment. But stopping the substance is only part of the process. ✨️

Recovery goes deeper. It’s about healing the emotional wounds, building healthier coping skills, rediscovering your identity, and learning how to live fully without needing an escape. 💪

Recovery is therapy sessions, support groups, self-reflection, repairing relationships, and creating a new sense of purpose. It’s about transforming your life, not just removing what was hurting you. 🫂

Sobriety is the doorway.
Recovery is the journey that follows. 🚪🏃‍♀️

If you’re in recovery — or just beginning to think about it — remember that it’s not about perfection. It’s about progress, connection, and growth. 🌱

Addiction isn’t a choice — it’s a disease. 💔

Too often, people struggling with substance use disorders are blamed or shamed for their condition. But addiction isn’t about a lack of willpower — it’s a complex brain disease that affects how a person thinks, feels, and makes decisions. 🧠

Just like heart disease or diabetes, addiction changes the body and brain in real, measurable ways. Recovery takes treatment, support, and understanding — not judgment. 🫂

Let’s break the stigma. Let’s replace blame with compassion.
Because everyone deserves a chance to heal. 💙

At Lifeboat Addiction Recovery Services we offer a safe and inclusive space for people seeking recovery resources. ⛵️

🚨 IMPORTANT SNAP UPDATE 🚨

Due to the ongoing federal government shutdown, November SNAP (food stamp) benefits may be delayed or paused in Michigan. This could impact families, seniors, and individuals who rely on these funds for groceries.

✅ What to do now:

• Check your EBT/SNAP account for updates

• Budget your current benefits carefully

• Find local food help: Dial 2-1-1 or visit www.mi211.org

• Food Bank Council of Michigan: www.fbcmich.org

• Check the resource guides on the Ingham County Health Department website:

🍎 Local pantries and community meal sites are ready to help if you need support. If you’re able, please consider donating or volunteering to help neighbors facing food insecurity.

Stay tuned for updates as this situation develops — and share this post to help spread the word! 💙

Seeking help for substance use is a critical step toward recovery and improved well-being. 💥

Many individuals face barriers such as stigma, fear of judgment, or lack of access to resources, which can delay or prevent them from reaching out for support. 😶‍🌫
