🌳Our CoFounder Roger Chilton Speaking🌳

👂 Listen as Roger speaks about his experience in the non profit sector and his years of leading recovery based services. From starting Friends of Sinners to growing Matthew's Table. Roger has been a staple on the Owensboro Treatment scene 🎬 over the past 20 years! He knows what it takes to successfully navigate the struggles of substance use disorder!

Now, Roger brings his combined experience and leadership to Rooted where we know that relationships are critical to success. Here we believe in sustainability, and that happens when we plug in to a body of believers or a 12 step fellowship for support. Evidence based studies show that a continuum of care is a critical clinical piece for long term recovery. In the state of Kentucky and in particular the Owensboro Region, we believe we do this as well as anyone! We’ve been there, done that! We’ve lived on both sides of addiction, and as people in long term recovery we know the therapeutic value of sticking together.

Rooted Recovery Christmas Party 2025!!

11/26/2025

Surviving the holidays in early recovery can feel overwhelming — but you’re not alone, and you can get through this season sober, grounded, and supported.
Make a plan
Know where you’re going, how long you’ll stay, and how you’ll leave if things get uncomfortable. Always have an exit strategy. Know your triggers and get out when you feel them.
Lean on support
Call a sponsor, text a sober friend, check in with your sobriety circle. You don’t have to go through this alone. Lots of recovery groups celebrate the holidays with meals and fellowship if going to family gatherings is not a good option. This is not the day or time to be alone.
Refusal skills
Simple lines like “I’m good with water” or “No, thank you” are enough. You owe no explanations. “No” is a complete sentence.
Consistency
Sleeping 8 hours, normal meals, exercise, meetings, — your body and mind need consistency right now. Look for ways to connect with others. Seek progress, not perfection.
Let yourself feel everything
Happiness, sadness, nostalgia, anxiety — all of it is normal. Feelings aren’t facts. Feelings let you know you’re alive and achieving your new version of you in recovery. Center yourself in the present to alleviate anxiety. If the feelings get too overwhelming, find someone in your support system and talk to them.
Celebrate yourself
A sober holiday—even a messy one—is a victory. Be proud of yourself. You’re building something new. You’re doing something hard. And you deserve to make it through this season with your peace and sobriety intact.
