Meeting Tonight! Designing Your Sober & Joyful Holiday Playbook

Damon Frank — Thu, 22 Oct 2026 22:30:44 GMT

The holiday season should be a time of warmth and connection, but for many in recovery, it often brings social pressure, complex family dynamics, and emotional fatigue. Instead of slipping into survival mode and waiting for January, October is the ideal time to build a proactive game plan to protect your peace and actually enjoy the festivities.

At this Recovered Life community meeting, we’re shifting from merely enduring the season to intentionally designing it. We’ll cover practical strategies for setting guilt-free boundaries, building seamless party exit strategies, managing seasonal triggers, and creating new, meaningful traditions that bring genuine sober joy.

Join us tonight! - Thursday, October 22nd | 5:00 PM Pacific | 7:00 PM Central | 8:00 PM Eastern

Meeting Tonight: Overcoming "Recovery Burnout"- What to Do When Meeting Fatigue or Routine Monotony Sets In

Damon Frank — Thu, 15 Oct 2026 22:31:16 GMT

When you first enter recovery, every insight feels groundbreaking and every routine brings a sense of fresh momentum. But what happens when the initial spark begins to fade? Over time, going to meetings, journaling, and staying on top of your mental health routines can start to feel less like a lifeline and more like a checklist. This silent plateau—oft…

Meeting Tonight! Do You Really Have to Forgive Them?

Damon Frank — Thu, 24 Sep 2026 21:09:48 GMT

We hear it all the time in recovery:

“You have to forgive if you want to heal.”

But do you?

What if the person who hurt you isn’t sorry? What if they never acknowledged what they did? What if the betrayal, abuse, lies, abandonment, or broken trust changed your life?

And what if you simply don’t want to forgive them?

This week we’re having an honest conversat…

Tonight! Cravings & Urges — What do you do when the thought of using comes back?

Damon Frank — Wed, 16 Sep 2026 22:30:23 GMT

You can be doing well in recovery—and then, seemingly out of nowhere, the thought comes back.

Maybe it’s triggered by stress, anger, loneliness, a relationship, an old memory, or even a familiar place. Sometimes there’s no obvious reason at all.

Just once.

Maybe I could handle it now.

I miss it.

Having a craving doesn’t mean you’ve failed at recovery. But wh…

Tonight: Why Do We Sabotage Things When They’re Finally Going Well?

Damon Frank — Wed, 09 Sep 2026 22:01:09 GMT

Have you ever noticed that sometimes the hardest thing to handle isn’t when life is falling apart?

It’s when life starts going well.

The relationship gets serious—and we pull away. An opportunity finally appears—and we procrastinate. Life becomes peaceful—and somehow we create chaos. Recovery is going well—and we stop doing the things that helped us get t…

Are You Surviving—or Actually Living? - Community Meeting Toght

Damon Frank — Wed, 02 Sep 2026 23:01:05 GMT

Recovery often begins with survival.

Get through today. Don’t drink. Don’t use. Deal with the consequences. Put one foot in front of the other. Do whatever you need to do to keep moving forward.

But at some poi…

🔥 Tonight: When Recovery Gets Heated - Community Meeting

Damon Frank — Wed, 26 Aug 2026 22:40:39 GMT

Anger, resentment, frustration—and learning how to handle the heat without escaping.

Anger is part of life—and part of recovery. Before recovery, we may have acted on it, buried it, blamed others, or found ways to escape it. Recovery asks us to do something different: feel the heat without letting it run our lives.

Tonight, we’re talking about anger in re…
