Today we began removing a few trees around the property to make way for some much-needed improvements. While change can be tough to see, this step allows us to create safer, more accessible, and more welcoming outdoor spaces for everyone we serve. Our veterans also got some much wanted wood to make s’mores in the fire pit for the winter!

This Thanksgiving, our team is especially grateful for the courage of the veterans we have the honor to serve. Your strength in facing memories, emotions, and addiction head-on is nothing short of heroic.

🍂 Preparing for Thanksgiving While Staying Sober 🇺🇸🦃

For many veterans, the holidays can bring a mix of pride, pressure, memories, and emotions. As Thanksgiving approaches, remember this:

✨ Your sobriety is a mission worth protecting.
It’s okay to set boundaries, step outside for a breather, or skip environments that could jeopardize your progress.

✨ Have a plan.
Bring a non-alcoholic drink, lean on a battle buddy, or check in with your support network before and after gatherings. Call your sponsor if you start to feel overwhelmed!

✨ Honor the courage it takes to heal.
You’ve faced challenges before- staying sober during the holidays is another mission you’re strong enough to complete.

✨ Lean on your community.
Whether you’re with family, fellow veterans, or spending the day in quiet reflection, you’re never alone in your recovery.

This Thanksgiving, focus on gratitude, resilience, and the strength that carried you through service- and now through sobriety. You’ve earned peace, support, and a holiday that feels safe and meaningful. ❤️💪🇺🇸
