I am very pleased to share that our Federal Congressional Earmark request has been accepted.

These funds will allow Journey to Recovery and Ben’s House to expand our reach and scope of service.

Though it’s true that nationally we have seen a reduction in overdose deaths, we are still seeing many whole family systems affected by substance use disorder. What we are doing here in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont is looking at the full spectrum, and instead of just focusing on the last day someone uses substances, we are also focusing, and focusing hard, on stopping that first day.

“Why” is a question that serves us all well in everything we do. Asking youth their “why’s” about all aspects of their lives, is what’s saving their lives.

Helping adults have agency over their lives and regain stable ground is powerful.

We have to continue these conversations to all lawmakers, in committee rooms and in our own communities as well as nationally and internationally. Every bit of progress comes down to establishing relationships, so that those working with our tax dollars have the information they need to make the right decisions to make the most impact.

Thank you Vermont for all of the support thus far and we are grateful and motivated for what’s next.

Stronger together, for caring and change 💜

The Hidden Path to Addiction 🧩💔

So often, the world looks at addiction and only sees the "trap" at the end.
We see the substance, the behavior, or the loss of control.
But addiction rarely starts with the substance. It starts long before, as a survival mechanism.
This incredible illustration by Jason Shier
(Infinite Recovery Project) beautifully maps out the quiet, invisible journey so many people walk:

🌱 **The Roots:** Childhood struggles, feeling unheard, and being overwhelmed.
🏰 **The Escape:** Retreating into fantasy just to feel safe for a while.
🔒 **The Lock:** Learning to freeze, stay quiet, and keep small to survive.
🎭 **The Mask:** Building a "perfect" protective self (being good, being strong, achieving) to hide a painful core belief: *"I am not enough."*

As adults, when that perfect mask becomes too heavy to carry and the pressure builds, finding something to "take the edge off" isn’t about chasing a high—it’s about chasing relief.
The escape eventually becomes the trap. 🌀
*The takeaway we all need to remember:*
Underneath it all, there is a younger part of a person still just trying to feel safe, seen, and enough. 🌟❤️
Healing isn't just about stopping the behavior; it's about listening to the hurt that started it all.
