In the heart of our journey, amidst the towering trees and the endless sky, there lies a belief, as old as the hills themselves, that whispers of a moment of darkness, a rock bottom, which must be met before the dawn can break. This belief, woven into the fabric of our struggle with the chains that bind us—be it the shadow of addiction or any other trial—suggests that only through the deepest descent can we truly ascend.Yet, here, standing on the ancient soil, listening to the wisdom of the wind, I tell you this: We do not need to wait for the ground to fall away beneath our feet to seek the path of healing and hope. Why must we fall to the very depths when the signs along the path whisper warnings and guidance in every rustle of leaves, in every ripple of the water?The idea that we must hit rock bottom before finding the strength to rise is a narrative not written in the stars but forged by misunderstanding. The truth, as vast as the sky and as deep as the ocean, tells us that we carry within us, at every moment, the power to pause, to look around, and to choose a different path.What if, instead of waiting for the darkness to engulf us, we build bridges over the turmoil, bridges made of dreams, of hope, and of the countless small steps we take each day towards the light? What if we embraced the truth that within us lies everything we need to break free from the spiral that seeks to claim us?So, I say to you, let us cast aside the notion that only through profound loss can we find what we seek. Let the call of the eagle remind us that we were born with wings, that we might soar above the challenges that lie before us, not alone, but together, as a community of warriors, each step guided by the wisdom of those who walked before us.The path of recovery, of healing, is not laid upon the foundation of rock bottom, but upon the recognition of where we are and the vision of where we wish to be. It is a path that begins with a simple, powerful declaration: "I have everything I need to succeed."If you feel the call to step onto this path, to weave your story with the stories of countless others seeking the dawn, know that I am here, ready to walk beside you.

Misunderstandings lead to the belief that we must hit rock bottom before rising, but the truth is that we possess the power to pause, look, and choose a different path.
