When Recovery Calls, We Answer
Hey Keep Going family,
I've been absent this week and wanted to share why - because it perfectly illustrates what recovery community is all about.
Last weekend, I received a call that many of us in recovery know all too well. Friends who had been struggling had slipped back into active addiction and needed to go to detox immediately. They asked if I could watch their six-year-old daughter while they got the help they needed.
Despite just starting my full-time position as pool manager at the Erin Country Club this week (yes, that happened too!), I said yes without hesitation. Because that's what we do in recovery - we show up for each other, especially when addiction threatens to take everything.
My week became a beautiful reminder of why we keep going. While it meant I couldn't be present here online, I was present where I needed to be:
- Making arts and crafts projects
- Singing songs and reading stories
- Going for ice cream and bike rides
- Playing basketball and riding scooters
- Making homemade pizza and creating memories
I'm thrilled to share that both parents have successfully completed detox. Their spirits are renewed, and they're ready to continue fighting this disease with fresh determination. Being able to provide that critical support – giving them space to heal while their daughter was safe and loved – that's what the Keep Going Movement is truly about.
Sometimes keeping going means temporarily setting some things down to pick up what matters most in that moment.
Exciting News Coming Soon! I've been working hard behind the scenes on our new community that will be launching very soon! I'll be sharing all the details in my next post, so stay tuned - it's going to be something special that I believe will change lives.
Thank you all for your patience and understanding this week. This community means the world to me, and I'm grateful for each of you who continue to support the journey.
Question for reflection: When was a time you had to drop everything to support someone else's recovery, or when someone did that for you? How did that experience impact your own recovery journey?
Keep Going with love and purpose, Lynn
