Last week, our Program Director Kevin Loalbo shared a reading from Morning Meditation that emphasized the value of male role models in recovery. We take pride in hiring folks that are willing to walk the talk, getting in the mix with our guys and participating in sports and activities alongside them. When we join our residents in activity, we lead by example. We show that we’re ALSO willing to set aside fear (like fear of not being good enough or fear of what others think of us). No point in telling you to do something if we aren’t willing to do it ourselves!

Tuesday afternoon Community Service at The Funny Farm Rescue can be hard work in all kinds of weather… but time with these animals also fills our cup. Many of the animals at the sanctuary would be considered “lost causes” for many people - extreme medical issues, etc. It’s comforting for people in recovery to see that no creature is beyond help or unworthy of love. We get to show up regularly and “make gratitude an action word” by doing some hard work to show the animals & rescue team a little love!

Over the last few months, we added Pickleball as one of our rotating afternoon activities - the local indoor court makes it an all-weather favorite. Pickleball enthusiasts everywhere will agree that it’s a perfect activity for folks of all ages + athletic abilities. For us, we see: 🏓 A sport with a low barrier to entry - easy to learn with varying levels of competition. 🫱🏼🫲🏽 Another chance to form healthy relationships by first building rapport around a shared hobby. 🗣️ Opportunities to improve communication, practice patience, and cheer someone else on. Also… it’s really fun.

We are beyond grateful for Alina Lodge's support of our Second Annual Comedy Show Fundraiser this October! For sponsorship details, tickets and more about who we are/what we do, check out the event link below.
When we developed Surfside Recovery Services back in 2016, our average resident already had 4 treatment episodes before landing with us. 7 years later, that number remains about the same. So many of the folks with us have a ton of clinical information but can't quite seem to apply it to their lives. It's where our life skill development, structure and accountability come into play. It's why we think it's important to develop an identity outside of just "alcoholic" or "addict." And unfortunately, many of these hands-on supports are considered non-clinical and are therefore not covered by insurance, creating an out-of-pocket cost for our program. We host ONE fundraiser a year... our comedy show! If you get stoked when you hear about what we're doing with our guys, I humbly ask you to support us. All funds raised are used to provide financial support to our Surfside families. A huge thanks to Alina Lodge for sponsoring the event. We hope many more will join them!
