Remembering Dolly Parton and the wisdom she left behind.

Recovery takes courage.
Courage to ask for help.
Courage to try again.
Courage to keep going when the road gets hard.

Sometimes being brave simply means taking the NEXT step.

This weekend, we’re holding onto Dolly’s reminder:
Be brave enough to try.

Today is national overdose awareness day.

Here is a great article to read especially today about how “Naloxone can save a patient today. Methadone, buprenorphine, or extended-release naltrexone can help that patient stay alive and recover.” By Dr Mark Gold.

Naloxone helped cut overdose deaths 41% from their 2023 peak. But nearly 70,000 still die yearly as survivors cycle through a revolving door without sustained treatment.

Read our latest blog: You can’t control someone into lasting sobriety. https://bit.ly/4gCIzBY

Support matters. Accountability matters. Treatment, meetings, coaching, family and community all matter.

But at some point, recovery has to become a choice.

Not because someone is watching.
Not because someone is threatening.
Not because someone will be disappointed.

But because you choose the life you’re building in recovery.

There’s a powerful difference between:

“I HAVE to stay sober.”

and

“I CHOOSE to stay sober.”

Healthy support helps you get there. Control doesn’t.

Narcan found at scene of Hayden Panettiere’s apparent overdose: report https://pge.sx/4hHDwT6

A vicious disease. And sometimes, heartbreakingly hard to escape.

Hayden Panettiere was just 36 years old.

She had spoken openly about her struggles with addiction, her treatment and her efforts to rebuild her life. Now, reports say she was found unresponsive following an apparent overdose.

Perhaps the most heartbreaking detail: Narcan was reportedly found on the mattress.

A medication designed to reverse an opioid overdose was right there.

We don't yet know whether it was used, and her official cause of death has not been determined. But the image of Narcan lying beside someone who could not be saved is devastating.

Because addiction doesn't care about fame, talent, money, motherhood or how desperately someone wants a different life.

Substance use disorder is a chronic, relentless disease. Recovery is possible, but it requires more than getting sober once. It requires support, connection and people who keep showing up.

August 31 is International Overdose Awareness Day.

This year, remember Hayden. Remember the thousands of people whose names never make the news. Remember the families who loved them.

And keep Narcan close. Learn how to use it. Never assume someone is "past" the danger.

Recovery deserves another day. And another. And another.
