Let’s get into the importance of creating a strong sober support network. Whether it be the connections made in treatment, 12 Step meetings or new virtual experiences, building lasting relationships is a pillar of long-term recovery.
Each week we invite you to Step into Recovery with The Hub, your resource for Connection, Education, Wellness & Fun.

Ricky and Pat, part of Mountainside’s Recovery Support Team, are among the first people that our clients form a bond with, and that bond is a strong and lasting one. With their many years in sobriety, they have learned the importance of a strong recovery network and the value of having fun. From bowling buddies and baking, to ball games and
Wharf Rats,
they show us recovery is more than just putting down the drink and the drugs.

In a time when we are all adapting to a new virtual world, one thing never gets old: human connection.
Loosid is a distinct community of individuals just like you connecting and thriving in sobriety. Their free app is a digital platform providing support and resources to those looking to stay sober or start living a sober lifestyle. From sobriety help, chat groups, virtual dating, and their Online Event Guide, they remind the recovery community that yes, you may be home, but you are not alone.

“Where words fail, music speaks.”
― Hans Christian Andersen
Have you ever connected with a stranger over a favorite song or band? Whole communities have been built on this connection and it's no different in recovery. We hope this playlist will help you feel that you're part of something bigger than yourself and inspire a deeper feeling of community.

Hi! Ricky here, and baking is one of my favorite things to do in my free time. There’s a meditative quality to it that I really enjoy. My famous Magic Bars are very easy to make and are my “go to” for a snack
–
not too many ingredients, absolutely delicious, and a quick pick me up when I need some sugar.
Have fun and enjoy!
