SOBER TEACHER
Hello, my name is Jessica. For years, I struggled to balance my professional life with my addiction to alcohol. To cope with the guilt, I worked diligently to be the best teacher, the best employee, and the best at everything. I spent years at happy hours counting others' drinks so I could pretend to drink like a "normal" person while aching to go home to isolate and imbibe. That painful lifestyle is behind me.
Today, I stand proud of who I am and embrace all parts of me. My recovery is no longer a secret. Instead, it is my story to share.
Meet Us at Thryve
Connecting with others who "get it" can make all the difference. Think about it: swapping recovery stories, sharing your truth, and knowing you're not alone builds real strength. We invite you to explore our judgement free online recovery communities, utilize this sites free resources, and swing by the THRYVE DAY CENTER in Colusa on Main street to connect with us in-person—we'd love to meet you, and chat over a cup of coffee!
Navigating People, Places, and Things
The early days of recovery can be both exciting and challenging as you adjust to a new way of life. One of the biggest challenges many of us faced during this time was navigating the people, places, and things that might trigger cravings to use and lead to a possible setback in our recovery.
Our #1 sobriety tip to anyone new in recovery is to avoid spending time with people who may encourage you to drink or use drugs or socializing at risky places like bars, neighborhood parties (where the drinks are flowing) or casinos. Instead, surround yourself with supportive friends, peers, and family members who understand your commitment to sobriety, and remember you can always reach out to us for extra support.
Recovery is a journey and it's okay to ask for help when you need it. Stay strong, stay sober, and congratulations again on this important step in your life.
