💜 Faces & Stories of Recovery 💜
Recovery is possible, powerful, and worth celebrating.
Mikey Divver
Recovery means freedom in its truest form, freedom from the chains of addiction, and freedom to step into the person I was always meant to be. To me, recovery is about uncovering my authentic self, the version of me that addiction tried to bury. It’s living with honesty, courage, and love. It’s walking through life no longer just surviving, but thriving. Recovery isn’t just about abstinence. It’s about embracing growth, connection, and the endless possibilities that come with a new way of living.
What helped me most was building a strong foundation of structure and community. The 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous gave me a roadmap, but the fellowship gave me family. Service work taught me that the real magic happens when I stop focusing on myself and start helping others. And fitness gave me a way to channel my energy, care for my body, and push through challenges. Together, these things kept me grounded, gave me accountability, and reminded me that recovery is about balance, mind, body, and spirit working as one!
To anyone struggling right now—please, don’t give up. I know the darkness feels heavy, but your story isn’t over. Trust the process, even when it feels slow or painful, because every step forward is progress, no matter how small. Keep your foot on the gas! Show up, lean into the people who care about you, and fight for the life you deserve. Recovery isn’t easy, but neither is staying sick. You are stronger than you know, and the freedom you’re chasing is real. One day at a time, one choice at a time, you can build a life beyond anything you’ve ever imagined. Hold on because hope is waiting for you on the other side.
"No shame. No judgment. Just truth, support, and recovery." Chris' Corner- Recovery Resource Center is a place where healing, hope, and community come together."
