Momentum Monday. Today, let’s be intentional. Fall is a great time to hit the reset button because it almost feels like a new year without it actually being one.

Football season is BACK! For many fans, that used to include imbibing an incredible amount of beer along with the game. For Thrilling Thursday this week, let’s shift our focus from the alcohol to watching football sober.

Truth Tuesday. Here’s a myth that’s been quietly shaping how people think about recovery housing: It’s a quick stop on the way to real independent living. Many may think it’s something to rush through, instead of somewhere to find your grounding. Unfortunately, that really undermines what recovery housing does, and it pressures people to possibly think about leaving before they’re ready. 

Feel Good Friday. New Month. New reasons to connect. September has a bunch of special events all across our three Community Center locations (Waukesha, Beloit, and Baraboo). Here's a preview so you can pencil it in before you miss out.

Thrilling Thursday. Fall in Wisconsin is way too short, but it’s also way too good to spend indoors. For this week, we prefer a list rather than one spotlight to fit in as much as we can before the truly frigid air hits. 

Truth Tuesday. Here’s a myth that’s led people to be stuck longer than they should have: In order to start recovery you have to want it. It really SOUNDS logical. But it’s also not true.

Another month has come to an end, and this August we’d like to pause to recognize that none of this happens alone. The hard days, the small wins, the steady work of recovery – our community showed proof of it all month long. 

Almost everyone has a version of this thought after getting through early recovery: I wish someone had told me this sooner. For this Wisdom Wednesday, let’s get some advice from our WisHope Peer Recovery Coaches.
