Yes, I Talk About Booze But Recovery in Abilene Deserves Our Support
Let’s get something straight: I talk about booze quite a bit here in Texas. Beer, whiskey, cocktails, you name it. Heck, I host an entire radio show that features adult beverages.
But enjoying a drink and supporting people in recovery are not mutually exclusive. That's why I make it a point to always work with those helping others, like Serenity House and Recovering Abilene.
Recovery Takes a Heck of a Lot of Strength
If you’re recovering from addiction, considering sobriety, or simply trying to make a healthier decision for yourself, I respect the hell out of you.
Addiction is real, recovery is difficult, and asking for help doesn’t make somebody weak. In fact, admitting that you need help may be one of the strongest things a person can do. There is absolutely no shame in fighting to take your life back.
Abilene’s Recover Out Loud Rally Offers Hope and Support
September is Recovery Month, and the Abilene Recovery Council is bringing the community together for its Recover Out Loud rally on Saturday, September 12, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Nelson Park.
The free event will feature recovery resources, inspiring speakers, live music, food, fellowship, and plenty of family fun, including bounce houses, fishing, and the splash pad. Mrs. Texas International will also appear as the guest of honor.
This isn’t about judgment or preaching. It’s about hope, connection, and letting people know they are not alone.
You’ll Always Have My Support
Yes, I’ll continue talking about beer and whiskey because that’s part of what I do. But I’ll also continue cheering for every person choosing sobriety, battling addiction, or helping somebody else through it.
If that’s you, keep going. One choice, one day, and one life at a time. Recovery is possible, and that deserves to be celebrated out loud.
