Group counseling didn’t happen in a circle today.
It happened on a leash. 🐕
In recovery, counseling doesn’t always look like couches, clipboards, or talking about your past. Sometimes it looks like moving your body, regulating your nervous system, and practicing connection in real time.
Walking the dogs together builds trust.
It lowers stress.
It creates space for conversation without pressure.
For people healing from drug and alcohol use, this kind of group work matters. Movement helps the brain process emotions. Nature helps the body feel safe. Shared responsibility reminds us we’re not doing this alone.
Sobriety isn’t just about what you stop using.
It’s about learning new ways to cope, connect, and care—for yourself and for others.
Today, recovery looked like fresh air, wagging tails, and forward motion.
