Recovery looks different for everyone, and every story matters.

We’re inviting you to share a 30–60 second video about substance use and recovery with as much or as little details you’d like to share.

You can respond to:
• What does recovery mean to you?
• What helped you (or someone you love) take the first step toward healing?
• What encouragement would you give someone struggling right now?
• How can our community better support people in recovery?

Your voice could be the reason someone doesn’t give up. DM your videos or share them and tag us!
