HOPE recovery calling

Recovery Calling

Anyone touched by addiction and recovery can leave a message. Someone going through something similar can hear a voice that’s been there.

The line is not monitored. In crisis? Call or text 988.

What happens to your voice

Need a place to start?

  • What's one thing that got better once you started recovering?
  • What would you tell yourself on day one?
  • What do you wish someone had told you when you needed it most?
  • Say something to the person who's scared to make this call themselves.
  • What does a good day look like now?
  • What kept you going on a hard day?
  • What's the first 'normal' thing you got to enjoy again — coffee, sleep, a boring Tuesday?
  • What's something small that made you laugh recently?
  • If recovery had a theme song, what would it be — and why?
  • What's one thing you're weirdly proud of this week?
  • Brag for 15 seconds. Go.
  • What almost stopped you from getting here?
  • Say the thing you don't usually say out loud.
  • What does 3am look like now, compared to before?
  • Who do you wish could hear this message?
  • What's still hard, even now?
