🕯️Today is International Overdose Awareness Day🕯️

We remember those we’ve lost to overdose and stand with those still struggling — with compassion, not judgement. Globally, hundreds of thousands of lives are lost each year to overdose.

This day calls us to reflect and take action: share resources, support harm reduction, carry naloxone, and help end the stigma around substance use. Together, we can save lives and honor the memories of those gone too soon. 💜

🚨 TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY 🚨

"What it was like: I drank and used drugs regardless of consequences and regardless of who I hurt. I spent years in institutions and rehab. I gained and lost everything repeatedly. I tried everything to control my drinking and drug use and continuously failed. I had to become so hopeless and tired that I would be willing to do anything to stop completely.

I went to treatment after losing everything once again and took the suggestions of the men that came before me in AA. The men that have struggled with the same problems as me and had learned a new way of life. I call my sponsor daily, I actively work the steps, and I sponsor other men. Due to taking the suggestions, I now have a completely different life. I'm a present father, I am trusted to manage a sober home, I have a good job. I most of all have peace in my life. I know it's nothing too crazy but it's a life I thought was impossible at one point.

From waking up desperate for something to calm me down everyday to now waking up free from the obsession to drink. I'm very grateful to God, the program of AA, and everybody that helped me along the way."

🚨 TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY 🚨

"My name is Kevin. My sobriety date is 11/29/2020. I struggled in addiction for twenty years. I've been in and out of detoxes, rehabs, halfway houses, veteran programs, psych units, homelessness, and jail. I've been in and out of the rooms of AA, NA, church, smart recovery just as long. Never truly making a decision to be sober. Really Sober!!!

November 2020 I ended up in detox in PSL. In December 2020 I ended up at Foundations. There was a guy working at Foundations that was actually from my hometown in Massachusetts. He was a huge help to me. He kept telling me if I didn’t change, nothing was going to change for me. I would keep cycling through relapse until I ended up dead. He told me to be honest with my therapist and to get a sponsor right away. I decided to take his suggestion and found a sponsor. For the first time in my life, I got honest. I made a decision to get sober and to do everything that I had to do to make that happen. As the days started adding up, I started to feel a change taking place. Even my bad days weren’t that bad. Doing the steps was huge for me. I did them as they should be done, honestly and thoroughly then turning around and helping others. I could list all the wonderful blessings that have come my way, but none of them compare to the peace of mind, serenity, and the ability to sit with myself and just be OK. I still do the same things today as I did when I first started my journey. I searched for God daily. I clean house and help others. Those are my keys to successful sobriety.

Foundations holds a very special place in my heart. It was the first stepping stone to freedom from addiction. I will always be grateful for Foundations and the staff for all the help they provided me."

🚨 TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY 🚨

"First photo is me at 18, and that describes the way I drank all throughout my life. There was never enough. It wasn’t until my 30s when I finally wanted to stop and realized that I could not. No human power could have relieved me from my alcoholism. After many failed attempts to do things my way, I finally surrendered. I went to rehab for the full continuum of care. My PHP was done at Foundations and my first day there I got a sponsor and started my steps. I had my first sponsee by the time I got to IOP, and since then I have remained involved in the 12 steps. The next photo is now, after 556 days of continuous sobriety. My life has transformed. I now work for a recovery center as a patient care specialist, helping people get into PHP after residential. I lead groups and work with sponsees outside of that, I regularly attend meetings, and I have even joined a sober motorcycle club local to Port Saint Lucie. My life used to be darkness, but I have found the light, and it’s beyond my wildest dreams. Trust god, clean house, help others!"

🚨 TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY 🚨

"I’m Dave, a recovered alcoholic and drug addict. By the Grace of God, the obsession has been removed.

For over 20 years, I refused to accept that I was powerless. 2 DUI’s, overdose, fights, high speed chases, near death experiences, and hurting the ones who loved me. None of these things were enough to make me stop drinking and using. I had become that black out drunk you read about in the papers, that wakes up in a jail cell being told he killed people in a drunk driving accident. That was my first thought when police officers knocked on my door at 4AM after an 8 day binge. Thank God, they were only there to serve a Marchman Act. I was getting another chance.

I'd lost everything: my relationship, my business, my house, and my mental and physical health. I didn't care if I lived or died. Finally ready to accept help, I called Foundations and started feeling some relief just by knowing I was taking some ACTION in getting better. I got vulnerable and honest with myself and others, I shared in group, I did what my therapist told me to do, no matter if my ego told me otherwise. It was also a “must” for me to get involved with softball, volleyball, corn hole and the other sober activities Foundations put on for the clients. Getting uncomfortable was serving me well!

Picking up 4 years sober on the 2/27/25 is proof of the miracle that happens when we are willing, honest and openminded to the spiritual solution. I follow the AA design for living to keep me grounded in my sobriety, I have a sponsor, I sponsor other men and do my best to carry the message of AA to others and to practice the 12 step principals in all my affairs. Because of the AA work I continue to put into my recovery, I have my relationships, business, home, health, peace of mind and sleep back. I am also very aware that if I stop putting in the AA work, I will revert to my “default program”, relapse and lose all that I have gained. What we really have is a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition. Trust God, Clean House, Help Others!!

Special thanks to all my Foundations family who have helped me and continue to help in my recovery."
