"A person who "has been there" and is living proof that recovery is possible"
"An individual who 'recovers out loud' (so others do not have to die quietly)"
"Someone who believes in you until you can believe in yourself"
The most-used form of recovery support isn’t rehab, it’s free.
According to a recent nationwide study of individuals who had resolved an alcohol or drug problem, peer-led/mutual-aid support groups were the single most widely used support, ahead of formal treatment.
And the research on why points to connection: rebuilding a sober social network is the strongest driver of lasting change.
That’s the real reason meetings, sponsors, peer support and having a recovery community work, and the reason no one has to do this alone.
