Friends and Family, “Recovery ALLIES”

JOIN US!


Recovery does not happen alone; it evolves in relationships, families, and communities. Loving someone through addiction can be emotionally heavy, confusing, and often lonely. Recovery Allies are the individuals who show up: parents, partners, siblings, adult children, extended family, friends, coworkers, and supportive peers.

Many families reach out while their loved one is still using substances and has no interest in change. That can feel like standing still while the future remains uncertain. This is exactly when support is needed most. Having a place to talk, learn, and breathe can remind you that your life does not have to be on hold while you wait and hope for a turning point. Connection and community help restore a sense of belonging and reduce the quiet fear that you are the only one living this reality.

We have seen recovery accelerate in remarkable ways when loved ones build their own well-being and use similar tools and coping skills. Recovery is more sustainable when everyone grows together. The foundation you build now can become the runway for change when your loved one is finally ready to take a step toward it.

Being a Recovery Ally means:

  • Learning healthy communication and boundary skills

  • Understanding addiction and the recovery process

  • Staying connected without sacrificing your own well-being

  • Building confidence, compassion, and gaining clarity about what is and is not yours to carry.

Our mission is to empower loved ones with education, practical tools, and community support so they can show up in ways that feel safe, hopeful, and sustainable… for everyone involved. We can help Recovery Allies understand patterns like people-pleasing, codependency, and enmeshment that often emerge in families impacted by addiction.

In our safe and confidential space, you'll find others who share similar experiences, challenges, and victories. Whether you're a parent, partner, sibling, or friend of someone battling addiction, you'll discover a network of understanding individuals ready to offer support and guidance.
