Who says you can’t have fun in recovery?

Recovery can open the door to new experiences, new hobbies, and new connections.

A Way Out offers fun, substance-free events for people in recovery across Region 5, making it easier to connect with like-minded people.

By getting involved with A Way Out, Reconnected Foundation, and other recovery communities, you could discover a love for pickleball, knitting, yoga, or rafting - and find your people along the way.

"Una recaída no es un fracaso. Solo es la capacidad de seguir adelante y aprender de ella."

Para Miller, la recuperación no es una casilla que marcar. Es una vida que lleva construyendo, día a día, desde hace más de una década.

En su opinión, una recaída no es un fracaso, sino información: una oportunidad para darse cuenta de en qué aspectos aún necesita apoyo y salir reforzado de ello.

"There is no failure in relapse. There's only the ability to move forward and learn from it."

For Miller, recovery isn't a box to check off. It's a life he's been building, day by day, for over a decade.

He views relapse not as a failure but as information: an opportunity to notice what still needs support, and come back stronger for it.

Los tropiezos pasan. No son una falta de fuerza de voluntad ni una señal de que perdiste el rumbo para siempre. Es algo que muchas personas viven durante su proceso de recuperación.

Mugsy quiere que la gente lo escuche con claridad. Una semana, un mes, un año: sin importar cuánto tiempo hayas logrado acumular, ya demostraste que puedes hacerlo.

¿Y sabes qué? Puedes hacerlo otra vez.

Slip-ups happen. They’re not a failure of willpower or a sign you've lost your footing for good, it's just something that a lot of people experience during their recovery journey.

Mugsy wants people to hear that plainly. A week, a month, a year: whatever time you've strung together, you've proven you can do it.

And guess what? You can do it again.

Una recaída — o, como prefiere llamarla Mugsy, una reincidencia en el consumo — puede dar la sensación de que borra todo el progreso que has logrado, pero no es así.

Mugsy comparte una perspectiva que le ha ayudado a superar los altibajos de su propia recuperación: si has estado sobrio durante seis meses y has tenido una recaída, sigues habiendo estado sobrio durante seis meses. Eso es algo que merece la pena celebrar.

Al fin y al cabo, la recuperación no es una línea recta. Son tres pasos adelante y dos atrás, pero cada uno de esos pasos sigue contando.

Relapse - or as Mugsy prefers to call it, a return to use - can feel like it erases all of your progress, but it doesn't.

Mugsy shares a perspective that's helped through the ups and downs of her own recovery: if you were sober for six months and have a return to use, you were still sober for six months. That's something worth celebrating.

After all, recovery isn't a straight line. It's three steps forward, two steps back, but every one of those steps still counts.

La recuperación no es lineal, pero cada día supone un paso en la dirección correcta.

Una recaída puede ser una etapa complicada de este proceso, pero no significa que hayas fracasado. Solo significa que tal vez sea momento de ajustar el rumbo. Si estás pasando por una recaída, aquí tienes algunas cosas que pueden ayudar:

Identifica tus desencadenantes. Observa tu entorno y tus rutinas, y haz los ajustes necesarios para sentirte apoyado y cómodo.

Apóyate en tu gente. Comunícate con amigos y familiares que sabes que te respaldan.

Revisa tu plan de recuperación. Es normal probar más de un enfoque antes de encontrar lo que mejor funciona para ti.

No estás solo. El apoyo siempre está disponible. Sigue adelante. Tú puedes con esto.

Recovery isn't linear, but every day is a step in the right direction.

Relapse can be a complicated part of this journey, and it doesn't mean you've failed. It just means it might be time to pivot. If you're navigating a relapse, here are a few things that can help:

Identify your triggers. Take a look at your environment and routines, and make adjustments so you feel supported and comfortable.

Lean on your people. Reach out to friends and family who you know have your back.

Revisit your recovery plan. It's normal to try more than one approach before finding what works best for you.

You’re not alone, and support is always available. Keep going: you've got this.
