“Why can’t you just stop?” feels like a fair question, but to someone living with a substance use disorder, it lands like a door slamming shut. If it were that simple, they would have already. Try this instead: “What does support look like for you right now?” Words shape recovery.

Anxious for no reason. Can’t sleep. Always on edge. If that’s your normal, there’s a reason, and it’s not that something’s wrong with you. Trauma lives in the nervous system long after the moment passes. If you’ve been using substances to cope, that makes sense too. Swipe through this gentle reminder that you’re not broken. You survived. The SPOT is here when you’re ready.

A Peer Support Specialist is not a therapist, not a case manager, not a sponsor. They’re someone with lived experience of recovery who shows up without judgment and walks alongside you. As part of mental heath awareness month, we’re putting a spotlight on our Peer Support Specialists at Care Resource and showcasing their stories and the incredible work that they do.
