New Roots Glynn

Early recovery doesn’t need to be overwhelming, it just needs to be consistent.

Make a plan for this week to start new habits to reinforce those new neural pathways 🧠

• Make your bed
• Drink water upon wakening (before anything else)
• Write one sentence in a journal each evening
• A standing check-in with someone safe (that can be NRG 💕)
• Plan something to look forward to

None of these have to be perfect. Doing a little, consistently, is what actually requires the brain.

In April of 2018, after 4 months of being in detox units, sober living and one 1013 hold all over Georgia, I’d been doing okay. I thought maybe I could “get it together” and took a job that moved me back to the town I grew up in.

Little did I know, I’d have one more WILD setback that would again land me in jail, detox and then packing my bag (at this point I only had clothes left) for another recovery residence. When I arrived, I had no will left to live. I wanted to wander into the streets of Augusta and drink myself to death.

But I didn’t.

After about a month of being cut off from the outside world, after realizing my son who I’d not been present for had every right to not want to talk to me, I surrendered to whatever idea I had of a power greater than myself. And then I worked on forgiveness for myself and others. And I realized how much I’d played the victim - even though I thought I was only hurting myself. I realized that if I didn’t know how to be alone with myself and not count on others and jobs and relationships to make me “okay”, I’d never sustain recovery. It was a true shift I’d never experienced any other time I’d tried to get sober.

In 2021, at 2.5 years in recovery, I completed the CARES Academy and learned about Recovery Community Organizations. That’s when I began taking steps to create New Roots Glynn. A place for people to come as they are. Wherever they were on their journey, to gain support at no charge. No matter their past or their pathway, an open door awaits. The biggest barrier to recovery is being able to go to treatment - because we are usually not in a financial position to go, nor have insurance to cover the stay.

New Roots Glynn turns 2 this month! Our Cruising for Causes event is tomorrow.

We hope to see you tomorrow, but if you can’t make it in person, we would love for you to support the work we’re doing by making a donation or purchasing raffle tickets (you don’t have to be present to win)

But, ultimately, to continue spreading the word that we are here.

Thank you for two years and counting! 🫶🏼

WE DID IT!

We have officially purchased a van for New Roots Glynn AND McIntosh!
This vehicle will be used for the barriers we face after stopping use - like getting to and from work, court, probation, etc.
It will also be used to transport folks to and from treatment.
Because recovery is not just putting down the substance. At New Roots, we want to help build and rebuild!
This transportation initiative was made possible by the Georgia Opioid Crisis Abatement Trust

This Women’s History Month, New Roots Glynn is holding space for the mothers in recovery: the ones rebuilding their lives while raising the next generation.

Moms often face the highest barriers to treatment and the harshest stigma, yet they carry some of the strongest motivation to heal. When a mother finds recovery, the impact ripples through her children, her family, and her community. Recovery isn’t just personal, it’s generational.
