10 months sober, what an incredible milestone! We’re so proud of this amazing alumni for choosing life, showing up for himself, and doing the hard work to heal. His journey is a powerful reminder that change is possible.

Read his story below, and join us in congratulating him on 10 months of strength, growth, and sobriety.

"Ten months sober. I never thought I’d say that. Before Stone River, I was using daily, hoping each shot would be my last. After losing my partner, I was angry at God and ready to die, but I made the choice to live. I picked up the phone, went to detox, and then to inpatient at Stone River Recovery. That choice saved my life.

My first group was grief with Cristina, the same pain I was trying to numb with drugs. I shared everything that day because I was finally ready to heal. Cara, my therapist, helped me work through the trauma and grief that were holding me back. The sessions were life-changing.

Every group, every staff member, every moment here mattered. The support I received at Stone River gave me the tools I needed to not only survive, but to start thriving. Now I get to come back as alumni and show others that change is possible. I’m forever grateful"

"A bottle of water can be $1 at the grocery store, $2 at the gym, $3 at the movies and $6 on a plane, all the same water. The only thing that changed its value was the place. So next time you feel your worth is nothing, maybe you're in the wrong place.”

Happy 4th of July! Whether you're soaking up sober fun or taking it one hour at a time, your progress matters. If today brings triggers or stress, we’re here 24/7 to help you stay grounded and supported.

While this weekend is a fun holiday for most, it can be triggering for some. By being aware of your stressors and having a plan for self-care, you can stay healthy and maintain your sobriety this weekend.

Here are five tips for staying sober this holiday weekend:
1. Be Okay with Saying No 🚫
Carefully think about the invitations you receive. Maintaining your sobriety is more important than attending the party.

2. Plan Ahead What to Say 🗣️
If you will see people who do not know you are in recovery, plan ahead what to say if they offer you a drink or ask you why you are not drinking. You do not owe anyone an explanation.

3. Have an Exit Plan 🚪
If you attend a gathering where people are drinking, have an exit plan so you can leave if you feel uncomfortable.

4. Take Someone With You 👬
If possible, bring a sober buddy to any gathering you attend. If you cannot take anyone with you, make arrangements to text or call someone, such as your sponsor or a supportive friend, periodically throughout the evening.

5. Create an Experience that Works for You ❣️
Do the things that make you happy during this weekend instead of doing the things you think you should be doing.

If you find yourself struggling this weekend, give us a call. We are open 24/7 and ready to offer our support! ❤️ 💙
