Halloween is a night for costumes, candy, and connection—but for those in recovery, it can also bring real challenges. Many parties and events center around alcohol or substances, which can be triggering or isolating.

The good news? You don’t have to skip the fun—you just have to reimagine it:
🧡 Host a sober Halloween get-together with games and themed snacks.
🧡 Find substance-free community events or gatherings near you.
🧡 Lean on your support system—talk with your sponsor, therapist, or sober friends.
🧡 Have an exit plan for events that may feel overwhelming.
🧡 Focus on connection, not consumption—make memories, not regrets.

Halloween can be a celebration of how far you’ve come. With planning and support, your recovery can shine brighter than any jack-o’-lantern.

🎃 For tips and resources, visit https://www.gatewayfoundation.org/blog/halloween-in-recovery/ or call 211 to get connected to local recovery and mental health support.

💜 Every second counts in an overdose emergency — and knowing what to do can save a life.

If you suspect someone is overdosing:
1️⃣ Call 911 and say “someone isn’t breathing.”
2️⃣ Give rescue breaths or CPR if you can.
3️⃣ Administer naloxone (Narcan).
4️⃣ Stay until help arrives.

Your calm action could give someone another chance at life. 💜

Let’s end the stigma, spread awareness, and be ready to help.
