We’ll miss our Fall Fundraiser this year, but our mission continues.

Haven has grown more than ever, with 9 treatment beds filled and 12 sober living units now open. With that growth came a huge increase in daily responsibilities, expanding our counseling and support staff, providing transportation, furnishing new housing, and keeping up with rising costs.

Because of that workload, we simply didn’t have the capacity to plan our annual event this year.

Still, so many of you have reached out to give anyway, and we’re deeply grateful.

At Haven, we see this truth every day.

Real healing begins when we allow ourselves to feel, to move from analyzing our pain to living through it with honesty, faith, and love.

In that space, grace does its quiet work.

And one day, what once felt unbearable becomes the beginning of strength.

You can hear the rain and see the steam from the tea.

It’s calm and quiet in the office, one of those small moments that makes us grateful for where we are and what we’re building.

I hope others find moments like this too, a little peace that shows up in the middle of a busy day.



"Let nothing disturb you, let nothing frighten you. All things are passing; God never changes." — St. Teresa of Ávila

A new day, new beginnings, and the same quiet grace.

Some mornings, they come together like a small community, calm, steady, and side by side.

A gentle reminder that healing often happens in stillness and in good company.

We wait for the right time, the right feeling, the perfect conditions.

But here’s the truth: there is no perfect time.

Change starts when you do.

Even if it feels messy. Even if you’re scared.

Step one is simply beginning. 💙🌿

If you have a loved one struggling with addiction, you know firsthand how challenging and overwhelming this journey can be. The pain, uncertainty, and worry can sometimes feel isolating, but you are not alone.

I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside many families as they navigate these hardships. What I’ve learned is that taking care of ourselves is not just important, it’s essential. When we find support, understanding, and tools for healing, we are better equipped to help those we care about most.

That’s why I invite you to join our free family support group, Hope with Haven. This group is a safe space to connect, share, and learn from others who truly understand what you’re going through. Past participants have told us how much they’ve gained, from practical resources to renewed hope and lasting friendships.

You do not have to face this alone. Whether you’re seeking guidance, comfort, or simply a listening ear, Hope with Haven is here for you.

Reach out today (luis@havenatbluecreek.com) to learn more, and join us at our next group meeting. Together, we can build hope, one step at a time.

With care,
Luis

Recovery isn’t just about individual change, it’s about walking the road together.

Joy is multiplied when it’s shared, and sorrow is lighter when it’s carried together. Real recovery means we don’t have to go through either one alone.

That’s what community is.

Acceptance doesn’t mean we have to like what’s happening.

It simply means we stop fighting reality.

When it rains, it rains.
When life hurts, it hurts.
When things don’t go our way, they don’t go our way.

Acceptance frees us from the spiral of “why me?” and “it shouldn’t be this way.” It opens the door for peace, for growth, and for the possibility of joy—right in the middle of the storm.

At Haven, we remind each other every day:
We can’t always change the rain, but we can choose how we meet it.

Rumi wrote that being human is like being a guest house, with every emotion arriving at the door. In addiction, we only wanted the “good guests.” We tried to lock the door on the painful ones, numbing or pushing them away.

Recovery teaches us something different. We begin to welcome all who show up, even the ones we used to fear. Sadness, anger, and struggle no longer have to be shut out. Instead, they bring lessons in strength, compassion, and humility.

When we open the door to every part of life, we find that joy, peace, and love are not passing visitors anymore. They settle in. They stay.

Sundays invite us into a pause: a moment to reflect on the week behind us and prepare our hearts for the week ahead.

Writing things down, our fears, our struggles, our victories, is one way we practice honesty.

But the deeper step comes when we read it back and ask: Is this the truth?

In that moment, we can see where self-deception has crept in, and we can also see where courage has quietly taken root.

At Haven, we believe reflection is not about reliving mistakes, it’s about clearing the path forward.

This Sunday, may we look back with honesty, face ourselves with compassion, and step into the new week rooted in truth and hope.
