Stop Enabling
Sometimes in an effort to be supportive of a loved one in addiction or early recovery, we end up being enabling. However, in order for recovery to begin, for them and for you, the enabling MUST stop. If you’re unsure of the difference between supporting and enabling, SWOP can assist. Reach out to us, we’re here to help.
We Support Each Other
As we continue to have conversations following the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings, I am struck by the outpouring of support for each other as women. There are so many women who have suffered and who do not realize how much support is out there for them. Please continue to lift each other up. You never know how a kind word or even a smile may be a beacon of hope to a sister in need.

Stay Strong
Those days will come where EVERYTHING seems to go wrong. The kids, work, significant other, school. These will test your emotional balance and you may briefly long for the days where your only responsibility was where to get your next fix. These days are temporary and not worth your sobriety. Don’t give up. Stay focused. Be positive. Stay Strong!
In My Feelings
Many of us struggle with feelings that we don’t know how to name. We can say that we are “feeling some type of way” or we’re “in our feelings” but can’t really say what the feelings are. As a result, we tend to lash out in frustration and anger or worse, shut down and isolate. If you struggle with naming your feelings, reach out to us at Serendipity. We’re here to help.
