For the third year in a row, drug overdose deaths in the U.S. have declined — a hopeful sign that recovery support, harm reduction efforts, treatment access, and community care are making a difference.

But the work is far from over.

Colorado was one of a handful of states that still saw increases last year, reminding us that the overdose crisis continues to evolve and impact our communities in deeply personal ways.

Behind every statistic is a person, a family, and a story.

Recovery is possible. Treatment matters. Connection matters. Access matters.

As conversations around fentanyl, methamphetamine, and overdose prevention continue, we remain committed to supporting individuals through every stage of recovery and helping break the stigma that too often keeps people from reaching out for help. 💙

For a third consecutive year, fatal drug overdose deaths declined in the U.S. Unfortunately, not every state has followed that trend.

Let go of things not inside your control.
With time and practice, you’ll find peace there.
Because peace is not chased… slowly come back to center. 💙

Yesterday marked my 30-year sobriety birthday, and I wanted to celebrate by sharing one gratitude for each decade.

1. My sobriety will always be the most important thing I do, because it allows me to fully love—and be loved by—the people who matter most in my life. I’m grateful for it every single day, even when it feels like a street fight.

2. Five years ago, a woman approached me in an airport and thanked me for writing about sobriety as a superpower. She said it helped her get sober. I’m grateful for all the people whose words helped me along the way. Before boarding her flight, she asked if I’d accept a gift from a stranger. I said yes. She handed me her first AA chip. I carry it in my purse every day. We were never strangers.

3. My favorite line from the AA Big Book reads: “That is the miracle of it. We are not fighting it, neither are we avoiding temptation. We feel as though we have been placed in a position of neutrality—safe and protected. We have not even sworn off. Instead, the problem has been removed. It does not exist for us. We are neither cocky nor afraid. That is our experience. That is how we react so long as we keep in fit spiritual condition.”

Understanding and keeping in fit spiritual condition has been a decades-long challenge for me. I wrote about it in the final chapter of Strong Ground and I thought I’d share that full chapter with you today as a “thank you.” To read, go to the home page of brenebrown.com.

Today I am sober af and I am grateful. ❤️

We’re taught that stories follow a clear arc: a beginning, a buildup, a turning point and a resolution. But that’s not how this story goes.

For many mothers, the journey doesn’t follow a straight line. It includes setbacks, restarts, progress, pauses and moments that don’t fit neatly into a single chapter.

It can feel messy. Unpredictable. Unfinished. And still, it’s real.

Life can get hard. Motherhood remains.

And no matter where you are in your story, you’re still in it — still showing up, still moving forward.

Growth rarely feels comfortable while it’s happening. Sometimes the things that used to fit — routines, roles, coping mechanisms, even old versions of ourselves — start to feel too small.

That discomfort doesn’t always mean something is wrong. Sometimes it means we’re growing.

In this new reflection, Josh Wilde, LCSW, LAC, explores change, adaptation, and what a lobster can teach us about moving through uncomfortable seasons of life.

Change can feel exhausting and uncertain. This reflection explores change fatigue, adaptation, growth, and how to stay grounded while navigating uncomfortable transitions.

Today, we honor every mother and every chapter of motherhood. 💛
For some, this day is joyful.
For others, it may feel complicated, heavy, healing, or uncertain.

Many mothers carry stories of recovery, rebuilding, resilience, and starting again — often quietly, and with incredible strength.

At Sobriety House, we believe those stories deserve compassion, support, and hope.

We’re proud to stand alongside Tough as a Mother in redefining motherhood and reminding moms that they are never alone.

Life can get hard. Motherhood remains.

If you are using alcohol, ma*****na and/or other drugs to cope with stress or trauma, you are not alone. Support is available so you can be the strongest mom possible.
