Lasting sobriety is about more than giving something up — it’s about gaining a new way of thinking and living.

At Silver Sobriety, we believe recovery grows stronger when individuals learn to transform their thoughts and behaviors, creating lasting change from the inside out.

As Mental Health Awareness Month comes to a close, we’re reminded that caring for our minds is just as important as caring for our bodies. 🌱

At Silver Sobriety, we believe it’s never too late to make a change, ask for help, or start healing. Recovery is possible at any age — and it begins with connection, compassion, and support.

Let’s keep the conversation going at www.silversobriety.org

Addiction can impact anyone — and stories like this remind us how vital compassion and recovery support are.

If you’re a Star Tribune subscriber, we recommend reading Beth McDonough’s brave and inspiring story:

The journalist has just written a book, “Standby,” that chronicles how alcoholism dismantled her life, and how she began to rebuild.

When I finally stopped drinking after half a century, I discovered that abstinence has physical and mental rewards, even when you’re in your 70s.

Depression in older adults often goes unrecognized — and so do the signs of substance use disorders. Many symptoms of addiction in seniors, such as confusion, fatigue, or mood changes, can be mistaken for age-related issues like dementia or depression.

This overlap means that too many older adults suffer in silence, without the support or treatment they deserve.

At Silver Sobriety, we believe every person — at every age — deserves to be seen, heard, and supported. Through education, compassion, and age-appropriate recovery programs, we’re breaking the stigma and helping older adults find hope, healing, and connection.

Let’s raise awareness this month by remembering that depression and addiction don’t have an age limit — and that understanding the difference can save lives.

Such a great post by Northstar Behavioral! A powerful reminder that addiction isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s often connected to things like anxiety, depression, or PTSD.

If you or someone you love is struggling, know that you’re not alone and that resources and support are out there. Reaching out is a sign of strength. 💪
