✨ Recovery Boost Friday ✨
The Christmas season can be beautiful… and overwhelming. Between expectations, memories, finances, family dynamics, and busy schedules, it’s easy to feel stretched thin. If you’re feeling tired, overstimulated, or emotionally full — you’re not doing recovery wrong. You’re human. 💚

💡 This week’s boost: The “Christmas Season Slow-Down.”
When things start to feel like too much, try this gentle reset:
1️⃣ Slow your pace — move a little more intentionally, even for a few minutes
2️⃣ Soften your body — unclench your jaw, relax your shoulders, take a deep breath
3️⃣ Lower the pressure — ask, “What’s the next right thing I can do today… not everything?”

You don’t have to attend every event.
You don’t have to feel joyful all the time.
You don’t have to make this season perfect.
Taking care of your recovery is enough. 🌱
Remember, you’re not alone this season. We’re here to support you every step of the way.

📍 118 South White Street, Carrollton, GA 30117
And if this helped you, share this post — someone else may need permission to slow down this Christmas, too. 🎄✨

We are grateful to be represented at the Georgia Capitol by Joel Tisinger during the General Assembly Working Group on Addiction and Recovery – Public Policy Conversation: The Addiction Epidemic in Georgia. His presence ensured that the voices and experiences of Carroll County residents were part of this critical statewide discussion.

We appreciate the bipartisan leadership of the Working Group for their continued commitment to addressing the addiction epidemic and its impact on Georgia families.

Our holiday needs series continues today with Carroll County Mental Health Advocates, one of the charitable organizations we partner with to support individuals in our community.

One of their greatest ongoing needs is transportation for clients. They use an Uber account to help clients get to important appointments such as the Social Security office, rehabilitation services, and mental health visits.

Uber gift cards are especially helpful, as they can be added directly to their account and used to ensure clients can safely attend the appointments that support their stability and well-being.

If you have questions, you can reach their staff at (770) 830-2048.

Thank you for helping meet meaningful needs in our community this holiday season!

Our 2025 Impact Report is here, and it reflects a year of meaningful transformation across CMHA and The Recovery Spot. This year, we supported our community through thousands of peer support encounters and recovery connections, each representing a moment of courage, healing, and renewed hope.

These numbers tell a powerful story: when people have access to support, connection, and compassion, lives change. We are proud to stand as a transformational organization, committed to meeting our neighbors where they are and walking with them toward recovery and stability.

Thank you to our staff, partners, and supporters for helping make this impact possible. Together, we are building a stronger, healthier community.
