This Wednesday, we’re excited to host the Joint DuPage & Kane County ROSC Council Meeting and Holiday Party!

Join us from 3:00–6:00 PM for an afternoon of food, fun, fellowship, and our first annual awards ceremony recognizing excellence and leadership in the recovery space across our communities.

Whether you’re a provider, partner, advocate, person in recovery, or simply someone who cares about this work, we would love to celebrate with you.

A virtual option will also be available beginning at 3:00 PM for those who prefer to join online.

We look forward to gathering, reflecting on the past year, and honoring the incredible individuals and organizations making a real difference in recovery throughout DuPage and Kane Counties.

For many, the holiday season feels lonely — even in a room full of people.

Here are gentle ways to support emotional health:

• Invite someone for a walk or warm drink
• Offer to check in during difficult gatherings
• Suggest alcohol-free plans
• Listen without judgment

Your presence can be a lifeline.

Recovery is built one day at a time.

Here are 5 daily practices our clients use to stay grounded:

Start with intention — a small morning goal sets the tone for the day.
Move your body — even 5 minutes of stretching helps regulate mood.
Reach out — check in with a support person before stress builds.
Stay present — use grounding tools like deep breathing or journaling.
Protect your space — set one boundary that supports your recovery.

The holidays can be joyful — but they can also feel overwhelming.

A few ways to protect your peace this season:

• Journal your thoughts or emotions
• Set expectations that feel doable
• Rest before you feel drained
• Say yes only to safe, supportive spaces
• Lean on your support network

If this season feels heavy, remember — you’re not alone. 💙

Every woman deserves a safe place to begin again.

Our New Women’s Recovery Home in Addison will offer structure, support, and the chance to rebuild life with dignity. Thanks to the $475,000 IHDA grant and local zoning approval, renovations will soon begin.

This house will become:
💙 A place to heal
💙 A place to restore trust
💙 A place to rediscover identity
💙 A place to move forward

This is more than a building, it is a new beginning.

The holidays can be joyful — but they can also bring stress, pressure, and big emotions.

If you're in recovery, here are a few ways to support yourself:

• Make a plan before gatherings
• Bring a sober support person or check in by text
• Be honest about your limits
• Choose spaces where you feel safe and respected

You are not alone this season.
