Humility doesn’t mean making ourselves small.
It’s about standing fully in who we are, honest about our strengths and our struggles, while recognizing that there is a Higher Power so vast and great that even at our fullest height, we are still held in perspective.

That’s the gift of humility: we don’t have to shrink down or pretend we are less. We are invited to stand tall, to live fully, to grow into the people we were created to be.

At Haven, humility keeps us teachable. It reminds us that we don’t walk this road alone. It helps us let go of control, soften our grip, and open ourselves to change. It is not weakness, but strength under guidance.

In humility, we find the courage to stand tall, not in our own power, but in the presence of something greater that makes space for us to be both strong and surrendered.

Ever caught yourself thinking…
“I’ll be happy when…”
When I move. When I get that job. When I meet someone new.

That’s called destination addiction, and it’s a trap.

Robert Holden, Ph.D., said it best:

“Until you give up the idea that happiness is somewhere else, it will never be where you are.”

At Haven, we’ve learned the hard way that peace isn’t waiting for us out there.

It shows up the moment we stop running and start living where our feet are.

It’s found in the messy, beautiful work of showing up fully for the life you already have.

The Pitt County girls are in the Little League® Softball World Series after epic comeback wins.

They were down. More than once. But they didn’t give up. They turned pressure into power, fighting back pitch by pitch, run by run.

At Haven, we know that kind of resilience and grit.

Women who’ve been knocked down by addiction are learning to stand up, fight back, and swing again.

We’re proud to cheer on these girls, not just because they’re talented, but because they remind us: you can always make a comeback.

So…
Let’s pack the stands.
Let’s cheer loud.
Let’s show up for these girls!

Let’s go, Pitt County! 🥎

☕ Be the Coffee Bean 🌱

Yesterday in group at Haven, we shared a simple story that hit home:

Drop a carrot, an egg, and a coffee bean into boiling water…

The carrot goes in strong but comes out soft.
The egg goes in fragile but comes out hard.
But the coffee bean? It changes the water around it.

The message is clear:
We all go through the heat... grief, addiction, heartache, fear. The question is, what does it do to us?

Does it harden us? Break us down?

Or do we rise up, stay rooted, and transform the environment around us?

The women at Haven shared honestly about their “hot water” moments—and how they’re learning to become coffee beans: strong, steady, and full of quiet power.

Wherever you are today, whatever heat you’re facing, remember:
You have the power to change the room, not just survive it. ☕💪

This week is another chance to stop chasing and start facing. To stop hiding and start healing.

Clarity doesn’t come from outside approval, fixing others, or avoiding the truth. It comes from taking responsibility, getting honest, and staying rooted in what actually matters.

Start by checking the heart. Is there pride to let go of? A resentment that needs release? A task that’s been avoided?

Ask the God of your understanding for clarity, then move. Clean what needs cleaning. Make the call. Apologize. Show up fully. Do the thing that’s been put off.

Faith asks for more than belief. It asks for action. Healing comes through movement, one surrendered step at a time.

Pray first. Then get to work.

Most of us start out thinking the world needs fixing.
Other people. Broken systems. The chaos around us.

But with time, and maybe a little humility, we start to see the truth:
The real work starts within.

That’s where honesty, willingness, and responsibility begin to take root.
One day at a time. One step at a time.

Change doesn’t always look big or loud.
Sometimes it’s quiet. Personal. Unseen.

But that kind of change?
It matters.
And it lasts.

From the (very soggy) desk of Elizabeth Mills, CADC-R
Director of Fitness and Spiritual Growth

When it’s 95 degrees and rising, there’s only one logical place for group fitness: the pool.

Today’s water aerobics session wasn’t just a cool-off, it was connection in motion. As you can see in the photo, synchronized arms and plenty of laughter were part of the deal. These women showed up, moved their bodies, and had fun doing it.

Movement is more than just exercise here. It’s therapy, it’s joy, it’s a reminder that recovery isn’t just about getting sober. It’s about learning to live again, fully and freely.

Haven creates space for these women to reconnect. To themselves, to one another, and to a life that feels good in their bodies.

Most of us think forgiveness will feel like a deep breath.
A sunrise moment. A wave of peace.

But the truth is, it often comes in a quiet decision.
Not because someone deserved it.
Not because you’re suddenly full of compassion.
But because you’re just done.

Done rehearsing the story.
Done carrying the weight.
Done letting the past keep its grip.

Forgiveness isn’t approval.
It’s saying, I don’t want to live like this anymore.

And that’s not softness. That’s power.
That’s what real love looks like, starting with yourself.

07/02/2025

"Only you can take inner freedom away from yourself, or give it to yourself. Nobody else can." — The Untethered Soul

This is your moment.
To rise, to forgive, to love yourself through it.

You are not your past.
You are not your pain.
You are the one who gets to choose what comes next.

And there is so much good waiting for you.
