“ROAR has helped me to better understand my addiction and gave me the tools to help me overcome the challenges I have been facing for over 20 years. I’m a better person to myself.”

“Being in ROAR was like a breath of fresh air because I didn’t have to explain who I was. I never felt judged for simply being who I am.”

“Our community faces different struggles that only we can understand and it is very important to have a safe and welcoming place like ROAR. It offered me a place to truly be myself while focusing on doing my recovery work.”

“I remember how scared and nervous I was at the first ROAR session but that quickly went away as I started to meet people just like me.”

“Being in ROAR I didn’t have to worry about getting kicked out of the group if I relapsed. Being able to come back to the group really helped me not feel shame about it.”

“This group was the first step I have ever taken toward Recovery. It has empowered me with the knowledge and tools. I need to continue to do the work even after the program has ended the connections I have made in ROAR will stay with me forever.”

“Through ROAR, I have a way better understanding of my addiction and why I was misusing substances. I understand my sense of self way more than ever. I’ve grown so much and have gained a sense of peace. Peace is all that I’ve ever wanted.”
