Together We Are Healing National Recovery Month 2020

September is National Recovery Month and this year, we welcome you to join us in the theme of “Together We Are Healing.” 

Our team at Promises believes that through healing individuals, communities will heal. We hope that you can join us in attending one of our virtual events or find these resources that we have created to be useful for yourself and those around you. 

Together we are healing.

September 17th at 2:15 PM: Americana Fest Panel Discussion

The Show Must Go On: Musicians in Recovery

We are excited to share our partnership with Americana Music Association and take part in the Thriving Roots Conference. This three-day conference is all online and gives you access to music, conversations, and insight into the music industry and life as a musician. We’re looking forward to providing resources from the recovery world. 

About our panel: There’s no easy road to recovery, and life as a musician can include unique challenges. But today, there are more and more artists turning away from the drug and alcohol-fueled lifestyle that often follows life on the road. So, how does that change happen? This panel takes a deeper dive into how to find treatment, what a new life in recovery looks like, and how others can take practical steps to become a sober creator.

Panel Discussion with The Next Door

Addiction: Learning from Loss

The Next Door, our partner in the Nashville recovery space, hosted a panel discussion about addiction and the effects of losing loved ones to overdose. While this is pre-recorded from August, we felt like this is an important discussion to re-watch during Recovery Month. 

September 17 – 19th: Big TX Virtual Rally for Recovery

The vision for the 2020 Texas recovery community is health, wellness, and recovery. The Right Step Houston, DFW and Hill Country teams have all submitted videos to take part and show their support for this historic virtual event. 

Ongoing: Daily Recovery Meetings

Join us on our Rooted Alumni Community Page for Virtual Recovery Meetings! These are open to all individuals in all forms of recovery (including those who did not attend treatment with us). We host several meetings daily, Monday – Friday.
