"Some days the only win is showing up sober. That counts." 💡 Shoutout to @denimrider64 on Instagram for sharing his thoughts! 💟 "...the rewards may seem small at first. But hang in there it only gets better. Soon you'll be doing things you thought not possible." 👏

Asking for help doesn't make you a "burden." It means you're ready to take a step forward toward sobriety with someone by your side. And we're proud of you for it! Not ready to talk about sobriety to someone already in your life? Find support groups at EmbraceRecoverySC.com.

This #NationalPreventionWeek, we want to talk about a key fact of life: not everything is in your control. That's why substance use prevention in our communities is so important. While you can't control what's in illicit street drugs, saying "no" to drugs IS in your control.

Join us tomorrow for "Possibilities of Prevention" webinar (Wed. May 13, 2-3 pm ET), featuring stories that strengthen communities. Register: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist… #NationalPreventionWeek
