In recovery, breaking bread is about more than a meal—it’s about replacing isolation with community. 🥘✨
There is a unique kind of healing that happens when we share a table with those who understand the journey.
We trade our old silence for new laughter, proving every day that we don't have to do this alone.

Connection is the heartbeat of sobriety.
Let’s keep a seat open for each other. ☕️🙌


The The Vermont Community Foundation amazing donation is feeding beautiful souls we are so thankful for our community supporters!

Chip Piper is turning his pain into purpose, and helping us at Ben's House save more lives too. Chip lost his son Michael to a fentanyl overdose.

Now Chip dedicates his life to running ultra marathons and high mileage races. The challenges he faces in pushing through to accomplish a 100 mile race, is a lot like what happens sometimes with someone trying to stop using. There’s hope and then fear and hopelessness and then courage and then more fear and then determination and a lot of support and encouragement is needed by everyone. And though it’s different, it’s a good depiction of what someone goes through.

Journey to Recovery Community Center and Bens House will be at his race cheering him on May 29 in Ripton.

Thank you Chip for helping us help more people. Every life matters and addiction does not discriminate.

Sunday Morning Recovery Reflection:
There was a time when a rainy Sunday morning
felt like a cage—a time when being alone with thoughts was the scariest place to be.
Back then, the "quiet" was just an invitation for the old noise to get louder.
Today, the rain feels different.
It’s not gloomy; it’s a clearing. 🌧️
Recovery has taught me that I don’t have to run from the stillness anymore.
I can sit here with a coffee, listen to the drops on the window, and feel at peace with the person staring back at me in the reflection.

☔What has recovery taught you?🌈

If you’re in the thick of it today, know: you don't have to weather the storm alone☕✨
