Emotional support makes all experiences survivable.
At first, the idea of getting emotional support from a bunch of people we barely know can feel pretty strange.
Most of us grew up keeping our struggles to ourselves—afraid of being judged, talked about, or misunderstood.
So opening up to a group of people whose last names we don’t even know? Yeah, it sounds a little wild. But after just a few meetings, something shifts. You start to notice the genuine love and support in the room.
People share their hardest moments—sometimes way harder than what we’ve faced—and yet, they smile.
They’re calm.
There’s a quiet strength in knowing they’re not carrying it all alone.
That’s the beauty of the Twelve Step community. You don’t have to go through life’s messes by yourself anymore.
There’s always someone ready to listen, to relate, and to remind you that you’re not alone. And now that same support is available to us too. With this kind of connection, every day feels just a little lighter.

Today’s Affirmation:
I am guaranteed the help and support I want. All I have to do is ask for it.
Today’s thought of the day is inspired by A Life of My Own by Karen Casey,— a small but powerful book full of daily reflections, meditations, and prayers, offering practical spiritual guidance for living a clean, sober, and more grounded life.
Karen Casey is also the author of Each Day a New Beginning. With over 20 years of experience speaking on spirituality, relationships, and personal growth, she has dedicated her life to helping others. Her own recovery journey began more than 30 years ago in Twelve-Step groups, and she’s deeply passionate about supporting others on the same path.
