“Well, at least I'm not drinking as much as they are.”

It's easy to justify our own drinking when we're comparing ourselves to people who drink more. But just because someone else's habits seem worse doesn't mean ours aren't worth taking a closer look at.

On Addiction Talk, Marci Hopkins shares how the people she surrounded herself with helped her normalize her drinking, and why comparison can keep us from recognizing our own patterns.

Is Adderall similar to m**hamphetamine? It's a question that came up in the comments on our recent video about the long-term effects of m**h.

Dr. Charles Smith breaks down what these two stimulants have in common, how they differ, and why those differences matter.

Sometimes, a difficult moment can become a turning point.

We're proud to share that Recovery First's Executive Director, Scott Frankel, is helping lead a new nationwide initiative between our parent company, American Addiction Centers, and the National Association of Bail Agents (NABA).

The goal? Help connect individuals involved in the legal system with substance use and mental health treatment when they may need it most.

Because everyone deserves an opportunity to get help and move forward. 💙

Sanity. Freedom. Time. 💭

We asked our team: “What's one thing you can lose without ever holding it in your hands?”

The answers were different, but every one of them made us think.

Now we're curious: What would your answer be? 👇

Our Director of Admissions, Omnia, said, “You're never going to be stronger than your addiction. You have to be smarter than it.”

If you've been trying to quit drinking or using drugs on your own, you already know how exhausting that fight can be.

But getting help isn't giving up. It's changing your approach.

Sometimes the smartest -- and strongest -- move is simply asking for help.

We're here, even on weekends. 💙 📞 866-407-4832

Our little app is ONE! 🎂🎉

Excuse us while we have a proud parent moment. 🥹

One year ago, we wanted to create a place where people in recovery from across the country could connect, find support, and be part of a community. And AAC Together was born!

Look at our baby now! 💚

1,830 alumni (and counting!), countless conversations, new friendships, familiar faces, and a whole lot of community.

We couldn't be prouder of what this little app has become. And the best part? It's our alumni who made it happen.

Happy 1st birthday, AAC Together!

When you ask people who work in behavioral health to interpret song lyrics...

We asked some of our Recovery First team to interpret a few famous song lyrics. Turns out, when you spend your days helping people work through life's challenges, even Beyoncé, Miley Cyrus, and Disney get a clinical assessment.

And honestly? We're kind of here for it. 😂

“I used to be so different.”

Maybe you had more energy. Looked forward to things. Enjoyed being around people. And now, even the things you used to love feel like an effort.

Sometimes the hardest comparison isn't between you and someone else. It's between who you are today and the person you remember being.

Changes like these can be signs of depression, especially when they linger and start affecting your everyday life.

October is National Depression Education & Awareness Month, and we're encouraging you to Look Closer.

If you've been feeling less like yourself lately, don't brush it off. Talk to someone. Ask for help. You deserve to feel better. ❤️

Wondering if what you're experiencing might be depression? We've included a free screening tool in the first comment.

Can drug use cause schizophrenia? Or can it cause symptoms that look like schizophrenia?

After our recent video about the long-term effects of m**hamphetamine, we saw quite a few comments about hallucinations, psychosis, and schizophrenia.

So we brought the conversation back to Dr. Smith.

In this video, he explains how substances like m**hamphetamine, co***ne, and cannabis can produce symptoms that resemble schizophrenia or bring on symptoms earlier in people who are already vulnerable to developing the condition.

It's an important distinction, and one worth talking about. 💜

One of the hardest parts of getting sober is learning how to cope with the feelings you used to escape.

Anxiety. Anger. Sadness. Fear.

When those feelings show up, figuring out how to navigate them without turning to substances can be overwhelming.

We've seen a lot of people talking about this in the comments on our recent videos. And we're listening. 💙

So tomorrow on AAC Thrive Live, we're talking about facing difficult emotions in recovery and finding healthier ways to cope.

If this is som**hing you've struggled with, we want you to be part of the conversation.

Join us LIVE Tuesday, October 13, at 4 p.m. PT / 7 p.m. ET. Bring your questions, share your experiences, and connect with others who understand what you're going through.
