Asking for help is not a sign of weakness... It’s a sign of courage. Don’t ever forget that

Thank you Dori and Dan's Foundation for bringing these adorable rescue baby goats for goat therapy! They brought so many smiles with them for the women at New Hope Rising recovery housing.

Art therapy at NHR Recovery Residences this week Art is a medium that allows people in recovery to remember their unlimited potential. In the process of creation, people come to recognize their ability to recreate themselves. Yesterday’s art class embodied the theme of gratitude. The painting of the sun and moon symbolizes learning to embrace the duality in nature and in our own selves. #HopeGrowsHere #Gratitude #RecoveryRising

Loving ourselves is so important because the way we feel about ourselves- the love and respect we have for ourselves- manifests in the relationships we have and the love and respect we accept from others. When we don’t know how to love ourselves and don’t know our worth, we are more likely to accept the unacceptable because we think we deserve less. When we embrace who we are and know that we are inherently worthy of love, we welcome others into our lives who value us. Each of us has a light within us that grows brighter with self love first. When that light is strong and bright it is a beacon that can guide others into our lives who will celebrate and feed our light, rather than extinguish it.

Monday morning kickoff with some strength, courage and gratitude!

Otherwise known as the old adage, Actions speak louder than words. Creating change in our lives, becoming who we want to be, takes consistency, commitment and action. Starting with small daily changes in our behavior and attitudes can be built up into long lasting healthy habits and help us transform our lives.

Are you someone in recovery who is passionate about helping others? Join our team at New Hope Rising, Inc.! NHR has a position open for a live-in male House Manager for one of our Recovery Residences.

This #GivingTuesday please consider a donation to New Hope Rising to help support our mission and make it possible for us to continue to serve those in our community who need us the most.

We become empowered when we move into a place of accountability and allowing us to grow.

The best way to get out of self is to be of use to others, with no ulterior motives or expectations of anything in return.

Happy Thanksgiving from New Hope Rising! This year we acknowledge that this Thanksgiving may not have been what many of us had hoped for, with many being unable to gather with their loved ones. However, we can also reflect on all we have to be grateful for, focus on what we do have and look forward to good times ahead!

Happy Labor Day!

Sunday morning thought

Today is the first day of National Recovery Month! While we celebrate recovery every day, this month is important because it starts conversations and helps to break down stigma associated with addiction. 23.5 million American adults are living in recovery from a substance use disorder and millions more families and friends have been positively impacted by their loved ones’ recovery. Shout out to the recovery warriors for planting seeds of hope, showing those who are struggling that there is a way out. Recovery is real and hope is possible.

Today on International Overdose Awareness Day we honor and remember all those we have lost and all those we are still fighting for. You can make a difference in preventing overdose loss by getting Narcan trained, working to break down stigma in your community and being a support to someone in active addiction.

Fatal overdoses are up 43 percent in Suffolk County since the pandemic began, with 42 residents dying just in the last four weeks, according to police reports of suspected overdoses. Non-fatal overdoses increased by 19 percent this year, Suffolk police said. We are losing our neighbors, family members and friends to more than just COVID. Narcan and harm reduction education is more important than ever, as individuals with substance use disorders struggle to cope during the pandemic with isolation, changes in access to self help meetings and their supports.

Happy Friday with some food for thought with a shift in our perspective we get to go from having a bad day to experiencing a bad moment during our day. Remember, we have the option to start our day over at any given time. Today, feel the good and let it lead you to gratitude!
