Weekly OPEN Meetings Taking Back Ohio is a grass roots Ohio 501c3 nonprofit whose mission is to educate, advocate, and support those who are seeking recovery from Addiction and/or Mental Health Challenges find it and keep it! We do this primarily through our weekly Open Recovery meeting's that use a Positive Peer Approach to help those seeking Recovery find their true meaning and purpose in life. Taking Back Ohio was started by a few close friends in recovery at the Sandusky Artisans Recovery Community Center in 2014 and welcomes anyone and everyone seeking Recovery from Mental Health challenges or substance use disorder as well as any supporters. This meeting is unlike any other recovery meeting that you have ever gone to!
>Taking Back Ohio is not a twelve-step meeting, nor is it faith based. We welcome those utilizing MAT as a way of achieving Recovery from SUD and all pathways to Recovery. The group chose for the meeting to be like this so that anyone from the outside who had skepticism or fear related to going to a recovery meeting would feel open to try this out! If you are considering living FREE from the bonds of addiction - YOU are welcome here.

TBO FAM, HELP US CELEBRATE CHRIS AND HIS FIRST 30 DAYS OF CONTINUOUS RECOVERY!!! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Last Monday evening, at our Taking Back Ohio meeting at the Erie County Health Department, we had the honor of celebrating Chris and this incredible milestone in his recovery journey!

30 DAYS!!! ๐Ÿค

Thirty days of showing up. Thirty days of making recovery a priority. Thirty days of building a foundation for a brighter tomorrow.

Chris, I want you to know just how proud we are of you! ๐Ÿ’œ

Recovery isnโ€™t always easy, but every day presents another opportunity to grow, learn, connect, and keep moving forward.

Weโ€™re grateful to be walking alongside you on this journey, and we look forward to watching you continue to GROW and THRIVE in your recovery!

WAY TO GO, CHRIS!!! KEEP SHOWING UP AND KEEP TAKING BACK YOUR LIFE!!! ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿค

TBO fam, letโ€™s fill these comments with some love, encouragement, and congratulations for Chris! ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ’œ

Because around here, EVERY DAY MATTERS, EVERY MILESTONE DESERVES TO BE CELEBRATED, AND NOBODY HAS TO WALK THIS JOURNEY ALONE!

๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘Š WOW!!! 3,600+ FOLLOWERS!!! ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ’œ

TBO FAMโ€ฆ YOU ARE INCREDIBLE!!! ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ™Œ

Somewhere along the way, our little grassroots recovery movement grew into a community of more than 3,600 amazing people, and we couldnโ€™t be more grateful!

But hereโ€™s what means the most to usโ€ฆ

Itโ€™s never been about the numbers. Itโ€™s about the PEOPLE. ๐Ÿ’œ

Every single follow, like, comment, and share helps us carry a message of HOPE a little further. Every interaction helps us challenge stigma, celebrate recovery, and remind someone struggling that they are not alone.

You are helping us build something bigger than any one person or organization.

A community where recovery is celebrated. Where every pathway is respected. Where people find connection, purpose, belonging, and opportunities to thrive.

And YOU are part of making that happen! ๐Ÿ’œ

To everyone who has followed our journey, shared our posts, attended our meetings, volunteered, supported our mission, or simply cheered us on from the sidelinesโ€ฆ

THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’œ

Weโ€™re just getting started, TBO fam!! ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ”ฅ

๐Ÿ’ฌ Weโ€™d love to hear from you! How did you first hear about Taking Back Ohio? Drop your story in the comments! ๐Ÿ‘‡

And if you believe everyone deserves an opportunity to recover, choose their own path, and thrive, SHARE this post and help us keep spreading HOPE across Ohio!

๐Ÿ’œ Your past doesnโ€™t define your future. Your next chapter is still yours to write.

๐Ÿ‘Š SHARE this today. Someone in your circle might need this reminder more than you know.

One share. One person. One moment of HOPE. ๐Ÿ’œ

Sometimes, we get so caught up in how far we still have to go that we forget to recognize just how far weโ€™ve already come. ๐Ÿ’œ

Iโ€™m proud of the person I am today. Not because Iโ€™ve gotten everything right, but because Iโ€™ve kept showing up, kept learning, kept growing, and kept moving forward โ€” even when life gets difficult.

Iโ€™m proud of the hard days Iโ€™ve made it through, the things Iโ€™ve overcome, and the courage it took to start over.

And if nobody has told YOU lately, Iโ€™m proud of you, too. ๐Ÿ‘Š

Progress, not perfection. Always.

Thank you, Dr. Stacey Sinwald at Stay Wellness, Therapy, and Consulting, LLC, for this beautiful reminder! ๐Ÿ’œ

A reminder that there is so much to be proud of that never makes it onto a resume, social media post, or highlight reel. ๐Ÿค

Maybe youโ€™re proud of getting through a difficult season. Maybe youโ€™re proud of setting a boundary, asking for help, starting over, or simply showing up when things felt hard.

Not every victory is visible, but that doesnโ€™t make it any less meaningful.
Take a moment today to recognize how far youโ€™ve come. The small wins count, too. โœจ

90 DAYS. 90 DAYS OF SHOWING UP. 90 DAYS OF CHOOSING RECOVERY. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ”ฅ

Monday evening, we had the honor of celebrating Jared and his latest milestone โ€” 90 DAYS OF CONTINUOUS RECOVERY!! ๐Ÿ’›

More than 55 of us gathered at the Erie County Health Department for our Taking Back Ohio All Pathways to Recovery meeting. We shared fellowship, encouraged one another, practiced being vulnerable, and reminded each other that none of us has to walk this journey alone. ๐Ÿคโค๏ธ

And THIS picture right here? THIS is what recovery looks like.

Connection. Compassion. Belonging. HOPE. ๐Ÿซ‚

Jared, weโ€™re incredibly proud of you!! Weโ€™re grateful to have the opportunity to walk alongside you, and we look forward to watching you continue to GROW AND THRIVE IN YOUR RECOVERY!! ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ’›

Because recovery isnโ€™t just about the days we accumulate. Itโ€™s about the lives weโ€™re rebuilding, the relationships weโ€™re developing, and the people weโ€™re becoming.

Help us show Jared some LOVE in the comments!! ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ’› Drop a ๐Ÿ‘Š, a ๐Ÿ’›, or a few words of encouragement to help us celebrate his incredible milestone!
