@recoveryanswers.bsky.socialFor people who resolved a substance use problem, many said drugs like opioids, stimulants, or cannabis was their primary substance. However, most people —51%—say that alcohol is their primary substance reflecting the high prevalence of alcohol use disorder.

@leaveonelighton.bsky.socialSecond chances do not require abandoning accountability. They require leaving room for growth. This week, encourage one person who is rebuilding something — with one practical, appropriate step. #RecoveryMonth #GiveGrace
@recoveryanswers.bsky.socialAbout one-third of people in the National Recovery Study said they had dreams about alcohol or drug use. However, these dreams happen less often as people stabilize and build more time in recovery.
@recoveryanswers.bsky.socialOn average, it takes 15 years for someone in recovery to reach a quality of life similar to the general population. But there is hope - earlier access to recovery resources such as those available at peer recovery support centers, can help reduce this time to about 5 years.
@recoveryanswers.bsky.socialOn average, it takes people between 2 and 5 tries to resolve a substance use problem. Individuals with more serious or long-term substance use histories usually need additional recovery attempts, typically taking them another try or two to achieve recovery.
@recoveryanswers.bsky.socialFor US adults who have resolved a substance use problem, 45% consider themselves "in recovery." But recovery looks different for everyone: over 60% haven't had formal treatment, and 40% still use one or more substances.
@wirralways.bsky.socialIf someone you love is affected by drugs or alcohol, you don't have to face it alone.
SILK, run by the Spider Project, offers one-to-one, group and telephone support for family, friends and carers.
