NO V**E NOVEMBER
Cravings can be tough—but they don’t last forever. Having a plan helps you push through the urge to v**e. Try one of these quick strategies next time a craving hits:

Call or text a friend for support

Listen to your favorite song

Take a walk or move your body

Squeeze a stress ball or fidget toy

Drink water and take a few deep breaths

You’ve got this! Every time you say no to a craving, you’re saying yes to your health.

Drop a comment and share what helps YOU handle cravings—it might help someone else stay strong too!

🎨 Art Therapy Night was a beautiful success!

Tonight, our community came together for an evening of creativity, connection, and healing — all in partnership with the Dickson Arts Council

Using a dot paint technique everyone tapped into something meaningful and expressed it through color. The room was full of laughter, calm, and those quiet moments where art lets you breathe a little deeper.

Huge thank you to everyone who joined us and poured their heart onto the canvas. And an extra thank you to the Dickson Arts Council for supporting spaces that nurture wellness, recovery, and community.

Art heals. Art connects. Art helps us grow.
