Dear Brothers,
As we celebrate Thanksgiving, we want to take a moment to acknowledge something powerful: the gift of gratitude.
Recovery is not an easy journey. Each day we confront behaviors that once offered comfort but ultimately cause harm. And yet, even in this challenge, there is something to be thankful for: our ability to choose differently, to grow, and to connect with others who understand our struggles.
Gratitude doesn’t mean ignoring the pain or pretending the journey is easy. Instead, it’s a conscious choice to recognize the progress we’ve made, the support we’ve received, and the hope that exists even in small victories. Each step toward awareness, each moment of restraint, and each act of courage is worthy of acknowledgment.
This Thanksgiving, we encourage us all to pause and reflect on the things we can be grateful for—our resilience, our commitment to growth, and the men walking this path beside us. Let gratitude be a fuel, not just for the holiday, but for the daily work of recovery.
May this season remind all of us that even in the midst of struggle, there is hope, there is connection, and there is progress.
