Walking the Talk: Celebrating a Recovery Champion

Yesterday at Nueva Esperanza Rehabilitation Centre, we were honored to host a remarkable guest speaker — a man whose journey of recovery and unwavering commitment to sobriety continues to inspire many.

With 3,395 days sober (9 years, 3 months, and 16 days), his testimony is a living example that long-term recovery is not only possible but deeply fulfilling.

Through Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), he has embraced the principles of honesty, consistency, and service — showing us that recovery thrives one meeting, one share, and one day at a time.

What makes him stand out is not just the number of years he has maintained sobriety, but the quality of life he has built in recovery. He lives simply, walks humbly, and opens his heart generously to those still struggling. His philosophy is clear: sobriety is not just abstinence — it is freedom to live fully, authentically, and with purpose.

Currently, he dedicates his time to service and mentorship, extending a hand of support both inside and outside the AA rooms. His motto, “Sobriety is my superpower – one day at a time,” reflects his unshaken belief in progress over perfection, and in the power of consistency.

At Nueva Esperanza, we celebrate him not only for his story, but for his zeal, enthusiasm, and passion for helping others. He embodies what it means to walk the talk, reminding us that recovery is contagious when shared with sincerity and love.

We are grateful for his visit, his words of encouragement, and his reminder that hope and healing are possible for everyone.

💜 World Su***de Prevention Day 2025 🩵

As a mental health practitioner, I am reminded that su***de is often not about wanting life to end, but about wanting unbearable pain to stop. Today, we honor every life touched by su***de—those we have lost, those struggling, those supporting loved ones, and those who have found the strength to keep going.

🌍 Su***de prevention is not built only in moments of crisis, but in everyday acts of compassion:
🩵 Reach out with kindness, not judgment
💜 Listen deeply, more than you speak
🩵 Encourage professional support where possible
💜 Remind yourself and others that seeking help is an act of courage

Every conversation, every act of care, can nurture hope. Together, we can create communities where no one feels invisible in their pain.

🏫 This year, we also highlight the importance of integrating mental health into schools. Youth su***de is a pressing public health emergency, and schools are vital spaces for prevention, early identification, and intervention.

✨ Key Insights for Schools & Communities:
🔵 Early detection saves lives – equipping teachers with training and crisis protocols enables timely support.
🟢 School-based programs work – evidence-based interventions like counseling and social-emotional learning reduce suicidal ideation.
🟡 Peer & family engagement – a strong safety net is built when families and peers are involved.
🟣 Policy integration – standardized policies and funding ensure sustainable mental health support.
🟠 Holistic approach – combining prevention, intervention, and education fosters resilience and well-being.

💡 Reflection for all of us:
1️⃣ How can schools ensure that mental health resources reach even marginalized students?
2️⃣ What strategies can policymakers adopt to sustain programs beyond crisis moments?

🩵 Let’s remember: you are not alone, and help is always within reach.
Together, we can build a culture of empathy, resilience, and hope.

💙 Gratitude & Encouragement Post 💙

Today, we want to celebrate one of our own, Nderito Gikaara – a true recovery warrior and an active voice in our Nueva Esperanza Treatment and Wellness Centre Alumni community. 🙏

Every single day, Duncan lives out the heart of the program by sharing Father Leo’s meditations, Daily Reflections, As Bill Sees It, and the Twelve Steps & Traditions. In doing so, he reminds us of the importance of Step 11 and Step 12:

📖 Step 11: Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.

🌱 Step 12: Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics/addicts and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

Through his consistency and service, Duncan has shown us that recovery is more than a program — it is a way of life. Thank you, Brother Dan, for being a living example of “pass it on.” 🌟

✨ To our new members who have recently left rehab and joined our alumni circle:

Welcome home. This community is your safe space, your extended family in recovery. Remember — recovery is taken one day at a time, with love, prayer, and fellowship. You are not alone, and together we rise. 🤝💫

Let’s continue to lift each other up and keep the flame of hope burning.

🌳 THE TREE OF ADDICTIONS 🌳

Addiction is often misunderstood as simply a bad habit or a lack of willpower. In truth, it is much deeper. Just like a tree, every addiction has roots, branches, and soil that sustain it.

🍂 THE BRANCHES
What we usually see are the “branches” of addiction — alcohol, drugs, gambling, social media, shopping, food, gaming, work, s*x, or codependency. These are the visible struggles, but they are only symptoms of something deeper.

🌱 THE ROOTS
Every branch grows from hidden roots. These may include:
🎯Childhood abuse or neglect
🎯Fear and anxiety
🎯Anger and unresolved pain
🎯Shame and guilt
🎯Abandonment and loneliness
🎯Trauma or difficult life events
🎯Harmful social environments

The same addiction can grow from different roots in different people. Unless these roots are understood and healed, the branches will keep reappearing in new forms.

🪨 THE SOIL

Addictions thrive in “fertile soil” created by painful life experiences, dysfunctional family systems, or environments that normalize harmful coping mechanisms. This soil allows roots of fear, shame, and trauma to spread, making recovery difficult unless addressed holistically.

✨ THE SOLUTION

Trimming the branches of addiction isn’t enough. Recovery requires healing the roots and transforming the soil. At Nueva Esperanza Treatment and Wellness Centre and Empower Her Recovery Centre- The SHE Recovers Centre , we focus on helping individuals dig deep, uncover the hidden roots of addiction, and create new, healthy soil where healing, hope, and resilience can grow. 💛

👉 Recovery is more than stopping a behavior — it’s a journey of healing from the inside out.

🌍✨ Last week, I had the honour of representing Nueva Esperanza Treatment and Wellness Centre and Empower Her Recovery Centre- The SHE Recovers Centre at a powerful harm reduction workshop in Diani Beach, Kenya — hosted by HRISSA (Harm Reduction Advocacy in Sub-Saharan Africa).

It was inspiring to connect with fellow practitioners, researchers, and advocates from across Africa and the world, all united by one mission: to promote evidence-based, compassionate responses to substance use and related harms.

As a harm reduction practitioner and consultant, I walked away encouraged by the solidarity, wisdom, and shared passion in the room. The work we do at Nueva and Empower Her is part of a much larger movement — and this gathering affirmed that we are not alone.

🤝 Together, we’re pushing forward:

✔️ With science,
✔️ With dignity,
✔️ With love.
