The Freedom Room Wellness & Recovery.

10/01/2026

You don’t have to rebuild your whole life today.
You don’t have to fix everything.
You don’t have to know how it all turns out.

Just pick up one piece.

One honest conversation.
One meeting.
One day without a drink.
One boundary.
One moment of choosing yourself.

Recovery isn’t built in giant leaps — it’s built in small, steady choices that add up over time. Some days the bravest thing you’ll do is simply not give up.

That’s enough for today.
Tomorrow can wait. 💛

Where there is life, there is hope. Never stop trying.

08/01/2026

For many years, when I was drinking, I’d tell myself, “This is going to be a better year.”
The truth is, it kept getting worse — because my choices weren’t changing.

When I got sober, I stopped needing to say it. Life wasn’t perfect, but I was no longer actively undoing myself.

This year is different.

For the first time in sobriety, I’m saying it again —
I hope 2026 is better than 2025.

I’m deeply grateful for what I have and for the people around me. That hasn’t changed.
But 2025 has been a demanding year, not the worst as I celebrated 13 years of continued sobriety, but one that tested me in ways I didn’t expect.

As I move into 2026, I’m making changes, not reactive ones, but intentional ones.
Changes that support sustainability, wellbeing, and better leadership.

I’m not afraid of growth.
I’m not afraid of success.
And I’m no longer afraid of asking for help when I need it.

The time off over Christmas spent properly resting and reconnecting with my family reminded me that burnout isn’t a badge of honour, and recovery applies to all areas of life, not just alcohol.

My hope for 2026 for myself and for the freedom room is opportunity, balance, and healthy progress.

Here’s to showing up wiser, steadier, and more human in the year ahead.

When I first reached for help, I was exhausted — not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually.

I was tired of living the way I was living. Tired of the shame, the chaos, the disconnect. Tired of feeling stuck in patterns that no longer felt like me. There was a deep inner ache — a sense that something inside needed healing.

That moment of desperation wasn’t weakness.
It was honesty.

It meant I was finally willing to try something different. Willing to ask for help. Willing to imagine that life could feel better than it did.

Today’s gentle reflection:
Do I remember how far I’ve come — and why I chose recovery in the first place?
Can I honour that version of myself who was brave enough to say, “I can’t keep living like this”?

🧘‍♀️ Meditation for the Day

This year, I choose to live one day at a time.

Not stuck in the past.
Not overwhelmed by the future.
Just present — right here, right now.

Each day is a small opportunity to prepare for a healthier, more grounded life. I don’t need to carry old fears, resentments, disappointments, or self-judgement with me anymore. They don’t serve who I’m becoming.

I can gently set them down.

Today, I move forward with intention — choosing patience over panic, compassion over bitterness, hope over fear.

Ask yourself quietly:
What would it look like to fully show up for just today?
What can I let go of that no longer belongs in this next chapter?

One day at a time is not small thinking — it’s powerful, steady change. 💛

✨ Happy New Year from The Freedom Room ✨

As we step into a new year, we want to pause and say thank you.

Thank you to every person who has walked through our doors, reached out for support, shown courage in hard moments, and chosen growth over giving up. Your honesty, willingness, and resilience are the heartbeat of this space.

This past year held challenges, lessons, breakthroughs, and moments of deep connection. None of it was wasted. Every step — even the messy ones — shaped the strength and awareness you carry into this next chapter.

As the new year begins, we send you blessings of:
🌿 clarity where there was confusion
🌿 calm where there was chaos
🌿 hope where there was doubt
🌿 connection where there was isolation

May this year bring gentler days, stronger boundaries, deeper self-trust, and continued healing — one day at a time.

We are grateful for you.
We believe in you.
And we are honoured to walk alongside you.

Here’s to a year of growth, gratitude, and freedom. 💛
