๐Ÿ“ฃ 4th of July Prep Reminder from the ARC
The 4th of July isnโ€™t here yetโ€”but for many in recovery, just thinking about the holiday can bring up anxiety or memories of partying. Thatโ€™s why itโ€™s important to anticipate and prepare now.
โœ… Your recovery toolkit is strong
โœ… You have a fellowship that gets it
โœ… You donโ€™t have to face it alone
Use the tools of the 12-step programs to stay grounded:
โœจ Bookend with a call to a sober friend
โœจ Hit a meeting (in-person or virtual)
โœจ Help someone else
โœจ Pause, pray, and breathe
This holiday doesnโ€™t have to derail your peace. You are not alone. If you need support, the ARC is here.

โ€œTo be kind is more important than to be right. Many times, what people need is not a brilliant mind that speaks but a special heart that listens.โ€ โ€” F. Scott Fitzgerald

At the ARC, we believe in the power of kindness, empathy, and truly listening. Recovery doesnโ€™t start with advice โ€” it starts with connection.

If you or someone you love is struggling with substance use, you are not alone. Weโ€™re here to help.

Today, on Juneteenth, we honor the legacy of freedom, resilience, and the ongoing fight for equality.
At the ARC, we believe that recovery is a form of liberation โ€” empowering individuals to break free from the grip of addiction and reclaim their lives with dignity and purpose.
Let us celebrate freedom by continuing to uplift one another and expand access to hope, healing, and recovery.

๐ŸŒฑ The Three Pโ€™s of Recovery: Patience. Persistence. Perseverance.

Recovery isnโ€™t linear. It takes patience with yourself, persistence through challenges, and perseverance when the road gets tough.

These three values are essential to building a stable, sober life. Progress may be slow, but every step forward counts.

๐Ÿ’™ If you're struggling, you donโ€™t have to go it alone.

Today, we honor Founderโ€™s Day and celebrate the 90th anniversary of Alcoholics Anonymous.
On June 10, 1935, a spark of hope was lit when Bill W. and Dr. Bob met in Akron, Ohio. From that meeting grew a global fellowship that has helped millions find freedom from addiction through connection, service, and spiritual growth.

At the Addiction Referral Center, we are proud to stand alongside AA and all who carry the message of recovery. Whether youโ€™re taking your first step or celebrating decades of sobriety, you are not alone.

๐Ÿ’™ Help is available. Join us at one of our AA or recovery meetings right here in Marlborough:
๐Ÿ‘‰ https://theaddictionreferralcenter.org/meetings

Hereโ€™s to 90 years of healing, hope, and the power of one alcoholic helping another.

This Memorial Day, we pause to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice reminds us of the courage it takes to fight battles, seen and unseen.
At the ARC, weโ€™re committed to supporting those facing the challenges of addiction and mental health. Many veterans and families carry invisible wounds, and weโ€™re here to walk beside them on the path to recovery and hope.
