My message on my now 10-year #sobriety journey:
Pink Cloud is driven to provide resources rooted in scientific evidence. The continued study of the mental health benefits of psilocybin, aka "shrooms", gives us hope.
If you're a researcher, healthcare provider, etc. involved in this field, please send us a DM! We would love to talk 🍄🟫🙂.
Pink Cloud is going to Nashville! 🤠
April 21st - 24th we'll be at #RxSummit2025 to share recovery & #sobriety resources, new app launches, and how we continue to connect with local communities through an intersectional, harm reduction lens.
See you there! ⬇️

Have you ever tried a new meeting and thought this when you found out they do a 15 minute meditation:
What?! Who are these show offs?! I really picked the wrong meeting!
Stay close. Lean into it.
Recently, we heard someone say:
“We hit rock bottom, and when we looked around, we couldn’t find anything else to blame.”
Accountability is the first step.
God does not make junk.
We just need to get into acceptance for how God made us.
It would probably be a lot easier to stop drinking if it didn’t work so well in the beginning.
No one ever looked back at the end of their life and thought I wish I hadn’t gotten sober so young.
When you start the steps you’re beginning an internal house cleaning that has the potential to restore your soul.
When we make amends, the other person’s reaction is completely out of our control.
We are concerned with our actions and taking responsibility for them.
You may never fully understand your higher power.
That’s probably a good thing.
What do you have to lose?
If you’re anything like we were, there might not be much left.
It took a while to hit bottom.
Recovery happens fast.
But it might not happen as fast as you want.
When all else fails, all you have to do is make it to the end of the day without taking a drink.
You know what would be really lucky on St. Patrick’s Day?
Putting in the wrong address for the bar in your GPS and walking into your first AA meeting instead.
The day you realize that it wasn’t a unique set of circumstances, the brand of alcohol, or just bad luck that got you into trouble is the day you take a step toward freedom and sobriety.
When you wake up in the morning, take a moment and enjoy the feeling of not being hung over.
We help others both to be better people and because we know how much it helps us.
When someone asks you why you don’t drink, you don’t have an obligation to tell them anything.
You are about to embark on a wonderful journey during which you will learn things about yourself you have done everything to not know.
In the process you will be set free.
There will be a newcomer at the next meeting that would really benefit from someone saying hello.
Find that person.
When we pray we humble ourselves and open up the possibility that something greater than us has a plan.
We may not be able to repair all our relationships.
But we can repair our relationship with ourselves and our higher power.
When you are new, even one minute without a drink can seem like forever.
Keep coming.
And give time time.
If you feel like you need to impress your friends by keeping up with their drinking and partying, they might not be your friends.
Helping another alcoholic is the way we pay forward the gift that we have been given.
You can keep the walls up or you can let them down, accept help and get better.
