🌍 Today is World Mental Health Day.

1 in 5 adults experience a mental health challenge each year, but far too many suffer in silence because of stigma.
If you suspect someone you love is struggling, here are a few ways to help:

Start the conversation. Say something simple like, “I’ve noticed you haven’t seemed yourself lately — how are you really doing?”

Listen without judgment. Let them share without trying to fix it. Just being heard can make a difference.

Encourage professional help. Offer to help them find a therapist or go with them to an appointment.

Check in regularly. Healing takes time, your support and consistency matter more than perfect words.

Let’s remind the world that mental health is just as important as physical health, and that asking for help is a sign of strength.

If you or someone you love needs support, reach out. You don’t have to go through it alone.

The hard truth about addiction:
You can’t save someone who doesn’t want to be saved.
You can love them, support them, and set boundaries — but you can’t do the work for them.
Healing begins when the person struggling decides they’re ready.
Until then, the best thing you can do is create a safe, honest, and loving space — without losing yourself in the process. 💛

👉 Save this as a reminder: love can exist without enabling.

Breaking self-sabotage brings a messy, beautiful mix of feelings…fear, shame, grief, but also relief and hope.

None of it means you’re failing. It means you’re human and doing the hard work.

If one of these emotions landed on you today, pause and name it. Say: “This is fear (or shame / grief). Thank you for showing up.” Then do one tiny thing that proves you belong on the other side.

Healing doesn’t happen all at once. It’s not a single decision, but a thousand small ones: choosing compassion over judgment, presence over avoidance, patience over pressure.

Recovering from emotional trauma isn’t about erasing what happened to you. It’s about learning you’re safe now. It’s about remembering your strength, even on the days you can’t see it.

Your healing doesn’t need to look perfect. It just needs to be yours. 🌿

🇺🇸 The 4th of July: Fireworks, Freedom... and a Toxic Drinking Trend

This holiday is meant to celebrate independence, but for many, it becomes a day of dangerous choices, alcohol-fueled incidents, and silent struggles with addiction or mental health.

At Miracles In Action, we see what’s really happening behind the BBQs and red, white, and blue:
💥 A significant spike in alcohol-related deaths
💥 Increased relapse rates
💥 A celebration that can be triggering for those in recovery

Our Program Director just shared a powerful new blog post about the hidden dangers of drinking on the 4th of July—and why it’s time to change the narrative.

👉 Read the full article here: https://www.miraclesinaction.info/blog/2025/july/fireworks-freedom-and-a-toxic-trend-the-truth-ab/

This Independence Day, let’s celebrate with intention, not intoxication.

The 4th of July is one of the deadliest drinking holidays in America. Before you celebrate, hear from a rehab program director on why it’s time to rethink the role of alcohol this weekend.

I found an old D.A.R.E. shirt and couldn’t help but reflect on how disconnected the program felt—even back then.
Now, working in addiction and mental health recovery, I know why.
“Just say no” doesn’t work when you’re saying it to someone you live with.
Or when you’re carrying trauma you’ve never learned how to process.
We need real tools. Real support.
That’s what we offer at Miracles In Action.
💚 Trauma-informed therapy
💚 Group and individual support
💚 Programs for addiction, anxiety, depression, and more
We don’t shame. We help.
Because healing is possible. And you don’t have to do it alone.
