Lend a Helping Hand
In helping others, we help ourselves. This is true not only in recovery, but in all areas of life. Giving generously of our time, energy, and love forms a connection between us that brings about a sense of serenity and belonging. Our lives are enhanced in beautiful and meaningful ways when we reach out and lend a helping hand.

Fall is almost here! With the season’s change, the hub. will be moving forward on a bi-weekly basis. As we start returning to our new normal, we see this as a time to reinforce healthy practices, utilize the tools and resources we’ve gathered here, and get more involved in our communities. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram to continue to receive daily inspiration and updates to assist you on your path towards overall wellness and recovery.

In each issue we invite you to Step into Recovery with the hub., your resource for Connection, Education, Wellness & Fun.

Find Your Purpose
Many have found their purpose living a life in service to others. Sharing our knowledge and experience can take many forms; volunteer work, sponsoring or mentoring a peer, even creating a school to assist people in setting and achieving their goals. We use what we’ve learned on our journey to keep ourselves in a good place – mind, body and spirit – and then we ‘re able to show others the path to success.
Austin Pets Alive!
When we think of lending a hand, we usually think of helping other people. But our four-legged friends could use a little help from us, too! Taking in an animal in need is a wonderful way to show we care and to selflessly help another living creature. The unconditional love and endless snuggles we’ll receive promote healing and provide us with a natural easing of everyday stressors.

Your Weekly Soundtrack
Music inspires us to connect with and be of service to others. It also serves as a reminder that there is help for us in our own times of need. These qualities are celebrated here in song, keeping us aware that a beautiful process of love and support is in full swing, and that we are part of it.
The Cooking Corner
Too hot for soup? Well we’ve got a delicious solution for you. This chilled potato leek soup is perfect for late summer meals. The ingredients are at their peak this time of year and this recipe is a cinch to make. Invite some friends over and have fun sharing this very “cool” dish with them or bring some to the next patio party!
