A handful of staff, residents and alumni are competing in the 2025 CrossFit Open. 🏋🏽

Some of these guys train 5-6 days a week to be competitive athletes, while others are simply stepping outside of their comfort zone.

Regardless of training or skill, at the end of the open, we will know a few things to be true:
1. We kept our word and finished something we started.
2. It was GUARANTEED that we were not going to win this comp, but we did it anyway. We didn’t avoid something simply because we weren’t going to be the best.
3. We refused to let fear or anxiety stop us. We outperformed everyone else who never even gave it a shot.

Here’s to the final workout, which will be released on Thursday!

🕺🏼Today our Founder Ian Koch celebrates TWENTY YEARS of sobriety!

The greatest gift of Getting Sober Young is Getting Old Sober (➡️swipe to see what that looks like)

Two days after his 23rd birthday, a broken kid asked for help.

Because he took a little action, these promises have come true:
We’re less interested in our “little plans and designs,” and instead we’re interested in seeing what we can contribute to life.
We enjoy peace of mind.
We discover we can face life successfully.
We’ve begun to lose the fear of today, tomorrow, and the hereafter.

Help us congratulate Bryan Morris, who celebrates two years of recovery today!

Bryan is part of our incredible team of Support Staff - these are the guys who show up nights, weekends, holidays, and when the rest of the world is sleeping peacefully. He’s often the person talking to someone who can’t sleep, or coaching the crew through a challenging CrossFit workout. Help us wish him a happy anniversary!

A few days of warm Spring weather calls for paintball at Camp Surfside! 🏕️

Our Private 11-acre campsite is tucked into the middle of nowhere, about 20 minutes from . We load the van with our paintball gear and trek out to the site, where we built our own paintball field.

Sometimes early recovery feels like life is kicking us while we’re down. There’s power in doing stuff that makes us feel like a kid again - friendly competition and a lot of laughter. Don’t knock it til you try it.😊

Please help us congratulate Ryuta Amaike, who celebrates 6 years of recovery today! 🕺🏻

This guy walks the talk, and his actions show us:
🥅 Setting big goals means doing hard stuff regularly, even when we’re tired or distracted, because we’ve made a commitment to ourselves. 😊With community and deep relationships, we can do anything in this world.
📆One day at a time, we change.

Not everyone loves the Eagles (weird) but everyone loves LOVE 🥰

Our clinical outreach guy Jeremy Moskovitz proposed at halftime at the game + and she said yes!

These are the gifts of recovery: the ability to have a healthy relationship, to be a true partner, to express our emotions, and to be fully present when the Birds win! 🦅

Today our Case Manager Dallas Stokes celebrates ✨FIVE YEARS✨ of recovery!

What a milestone. Soon Dallas will spread his wings and begin a new chapter in his recovery, but he has been an amazing asset to our organization, our residents AND our families. Please join us in congratulating him!

There’s a wealth of published research on the mental health benefits of Jiu Jitsu for veterans + first responders - and today our guys will train with the amazing crew of vets at

When the owners of Akashic outreached us to offer small group training to our guys, we had no idea that even our support staff would discover a hobby that they love. 😊 Along the way, we’ve learned a ton about the psychological benefits of BJJ for folks in high-stress circumstances (like early recovery!)

We know that movement and social connection are two powerful antidotes for loneliness.
Trying something new can change our entire life.
What a gift.

A massive thanks to all who joined us for the Pickleball Tournament at , co-hosted by our friends from Empower Recovery. 🥒🎾

We know that sports give us the opportunity to connect in a lighthearted way, which lays the groundwork for deeper, meaningful relationships. We won’t ask our clients to do something we’re not willing to do ourselves!

…And because we are deeply competitive, of course Erick recruited his wife so ensure they took first in the tournament 😂🤪

🎿 First Okemo run of the Winter Season!

We were out of the house bright and early for some freshly groomed trails at Okemo the last few days.

Small group trips to our retreat house in Vermont are a reminder that recovery allows us to do ANYTHING, especially with a solid support network. We can do hard things (and also really fun things) without a mind or mood altering substance.

We love watching our guys stay involved in sports and hobbies long after graduating.

At a time when loneliness is considered an “epidemic” in the US + people feel isolated, disconnected and deeply alone… we know the power of community.

We know that community reaches far beyond 12 Step meetings. That our guys can find AND sustain meaningful friendships at CrossFit or Pickleball or Jiu Jitsu or yoga.

Move a muscle, change a thought.

The has transformed the way our guys view community service.

It’s hard work to care for the animals at the sanctuary, but today’s afternoon activity is the perfect example of giving with no expectation of return. The animals are hysterical (there are hundreds of them!) and somehow always brighten our day.

It feels less like a chore, and more like we are contributing to something bigger. It can often be the launchpad for a spiritual experience.
