🎥 RECOVERY STORIES FROM THE RECOVERY CELEBRATION

At the 2025 Recovery Celebration, members of our community shared their personal recovery stories so others could hear a message of hope.

Today we’re sharing a story from Cruzito Nathanial Contreras.

Cruz shares about growing up in a small community, finding his identity, and the journey of building a life that felt true to who he is. Along the way, he also experienced losing his sense of direction and stepping away from the things that once gave him purpose.

In this video, he talks about how recovery helped him reconnect with himself, return to teaching, and build a life he feels proud of today.

Recovery is not just about stopping something. It is about finding yourself again and choosing a different path forward.

💜 Thank you, Cruz, for sharing your story and reminding others that growth and change are possible.

🎥 RECOVERY STORIES FROM THE RECOVERY CELEBRATION

At the 2025 Recovery Celebration, members of our community shared their personal recovery stories so others could hear a message of hope.

Today we’re sharing a story from Antonio.

Antonio shares about years of addiction, searching for relief in different places, and eventually realizing he could not outrun what he needed to face within himself. In this video, he reflects on what began to change when he embraced recovery, sought support, and started doing deeper work on himself.

Today, Antonio has two years in recovery and speaks powerfully about the role of therapy, mutual support, and community connection in helping him move from feeling alone to finding hope.

Recovery is possible. Connection matters. And no one has to do this alone.

💜 Thank you, Antonio, for sharing your story and reminding others that there is hope.

✨ We’re tabling at the Spring Drag Show coming up this Thursday, April 23! ✨

We’re proud to show up for the LGBTQIA+ community because connection, visibility, and support are important! LGBTQIA+ individuals are disproportionately affected by su***de, and community spaces like this help create community, joy, and belonging.

Come out for an amazing night of drag, music, and fun, and say hi at our table. 🌈💜
