You Have Permission to Be Hopeful
It may sound strange to be told that you have permission to be hopeful, but it’s true. Giving yourself the allowance to feel and accept hope can have a tremendous impact on your life – and the lives of others around you – in more ways than you ever thought possible. For many of us […]
The Importance of Continuity of Care
Arresting active addiction is a necessary prerequisite for beginning life in recovery, and it can happen in rehabilitation facilities. Yet getting physically sober is not the same as beginning and maintaining a life in recovery. That is where the Jaywalker model and the importance of continuing care come into play.

I had been following Tim for a few years now on social media and found myself constantly laughing at his recovery-based jokes throughout my sobriety. His sense of humor is pretty dark and […]

Jaywalker Lodge Havasu Falls Alumni Trip 2018
What makes a paradise? Is it the natural beauty surrounding you? Is it your state of mind? Is it the company you share? For myself and 11 other men, we found the answers to such questions after a 13- hour car ride followed by a 10-mile hike into the desert and canyons of Arizona. As […]
