Good afternoon, sober friends. Quick shout-out to everybody who made it through the week. It wasn’t easy, but we did it. To our new members: congratulations on getting in at the beginning. Watch this grow beyond our wildest dreams. Mike, thank you for this. Melissa, thank you for always supporting Mike and giving him the love he needs. Sober Recovery Squad, here’s my challenge: invite one friend this week to join us. If everybody does, we double. Double the reach, double the people helped. Let’s do it. And remember — I don’t know what you’re going through, but I believe in you. You’re worth it. You’re enough. I love you, and we do recover. Best regards , Theejerbear

Hi everyone, my name’s Jerry. I’m glad to be part of the Sober Recovery Squad. My story includes 18 years of active addiction and relapses, and today, by the grace of God, I’m living in recovery and walking in my purpose. Recovery has taught me that everyone’s journey is different. One day is just as important as 100. We all have our own battles, struggles, and victories. It’s not about perfection, it’s about showing up, having hope, and keeping on one day at a time. Right now, I have the privilege of working as a case manager, supporting people experiencing homelessness. For me, that’s part of giving back, to a community and a world that I once only took from. My prayer is to hold the flashlight up for someone else and help them find their way out of the darkness. I’m excited to be part of something bigger than myself, and I believe no one is beyond hope. Welcome to the Sober Recovery Squad.

The Squad is growing — and a community doesn't become something people trust by accident. It's built by the people inside it. So I'm building the **Elite Squad**: a team of members who are dedicated not only to their own recovery, but to helping the person next to them find theirs. **What we're building together:** A community people **trust**. A place where we **celebrate** each other's wins, **grow** together, **learn** together, **heal** together — and where nobody ever has to wonder if anybody cares. Here, somebody always cares. 💜 **The Elite Squad is for you if you want to:** 🤝 **Welcome** — be the first friendly voice on new members' intros 💬 **Keep the fire lit** — no post in this Squad sits at zero comments 📣 **Invite** — bring one person a week who needs this room 🎙️ **Create** — podcasters, bloggers, storytellers: bring your voice here 👥 **Host** — lead a group, a check-in, a conversation 🛠️ **Teach** — run a workshop on something recovery taught you You don't need a title. You don't need years of clean time. You need a heart for the person who's still where you used to be. **Comment "I'M IN" and tell me which role fits you** — and if you've got a podcast, a blog, or a workshop idea, drop that too. I'll reach out to every single one of you personally. This is how a Squad becomes a movement. Showing up is the whole game. Stepping up is the next level. 🦸 — MikeDrake

Updated weekly by Mike. Legend: - Squad Captains: - Superheroes: - Heroes: - Guardians: - Sidekicks: - Trainees: everyone who has posted an intro How levels work: show up, check in, encourage people, share wins, welcome newcomers. Nobody levels up for sobriety time. Milestones get their own shout-outs. The Squad is new and growing, so every name on this board starts empty. Yours could be first.
