✝️ GOOD FRIDAY ✝️
A Message to Our Recovery Community
Today we remember the cross…
A place of pain, but also a place of victory.
Jesus walked through suffering
so we would never have to walk alone.
To everyone in recovery:
Your journey is not punishment—
it is transformation.
Every battle you fight…
Every day you choose healing…
Every step forward matters.
You are not broken beyond repair.
You are being restored.
You are being made new.
Good Friday reminds us:
What looks like the end…
is the beginning of new life.
Stay strong. Stay faithful.
Sunday is coming. 🌅
— With love, your Recovery Community

Today the Recovery community wakes with heavy hearts as we hear of the passing of our beloved Mr T. Edward Townsend.
We lift his family up in prayer this morning and thank God for the incredible contribution he made to the Recovery community. His love, compassion, and caring heart for those struggling with addiction touched many lives. His soft voice and gentle nature brought comfort, hope, and encouragement to so many.
He will never be forgotten. Today the Recovery community grieves together, but we also celebrate a life that helped many find their way back to hope and healing.
Rest Peacefully Mr Townsend. Your legacy lives on in all the lives you helped change. 👣🌱

What’s the Difference Between Abstinence and Recovery?
Here we share from an article “What’s the Difference Between Abstinence and Recovery” written and published by a peer recovery program in Colorado, US.

We believe there is a clear distinction between Abstinence and sobriety.

Abstinence is simply the state of being physically free from mind-altering substances or behaviours by personal choice.

However, abstinence alone fails to address the behavioural, emotional, spiritual, and mental health deficiencies and issues that have created the need to use mind-altering substances or mood altering behaviours in the first place.

This is no way demeans the effort or achievement that goes into becoming abstinent. In itself this is enormous.

Recovery then utilises all tools necessary for long-term sobriety. B
uilding upon the spiritual, emotional, and physical aspects for a higher achievable long-term outcome.

“Understanding where most of my pain and distress originated from was one of the keys that opened the door for long-term recovery. Had I not gone back and dealt with my childhood trauma I would still be hopeless and helpless.” ~Nick Wildrick, Co-Founder GoForth Recovery

Many individuals believe that getting sober/clean/abstinent means simply abstaining from drugs or alcohol and that’s it.

However, recovery is much more comprehensive and involves the creation of a brand new lifestyle.

Stopping the usage of drugs or alcohol is often the easiest part.

Staying stopped is harder yet doing the work to heal the parts of ourselves that craved drugs or alcohol as coping mechanisms is an entirely different journey.

Understanding the difference between abstinence and recovery will help many understand what recovery is all about and what to expect when getting sober/clean/abstinent.

Being able to separate the two will perhaps motivate individuals struggling with addiction to learn more about what a life in recovery means and what it has to offer.

This post offers broad guidance only. We will be posting further on this topic in the near future.

Today I'm IMMENSELY PROUD proud of myself.

I'm CELEBRATING 15 YearRS CLEAN OF THE DRUG THAT ALMOST DESTROYED ME😭

I remember like it was yesterday on Woman's Day going on my knees and asking GOD to help me it was the only thing that came out my mouth "GOD help me help me" and I was sobbing asking him to help me get rid of this EVIL drug (TIK) I was so ADDICTED to.

I honestly never knew I was that strong. I had to work on me trying to find myself again cause I really thought I was going to struggle with my PERSONALITY as an ARTIST and just overall as Salome.

And because of my inner fight against the evil that almost DESTROYED me I am a TESTIMONY to ALL🙏🏻

SO TODAY LET’S CELEBRATE EACH OTHER’S VICTORIES 🙌🙌🙌🙌

BE Victorious and live your TRUTH.

HAPPY WOMAN’S DAY MY BEAUTIFUL LADIES

💗

You can be sober and not healed but you cannot be healed and not be sober. ♥️👣🌱
