The Magazine

Editorial Guidelines

In an effort to reduce addiction stigma, we launched in 2019 to make recovery from addiction visible; knowing that reducing stigma takes awareness, education and information, we provide that with our hope-filled, inspiring, solution oriented content.

 

From inspiring personal stories, accessible mutual-aid programs and community resources along with informative articles on wellbeing we amplify hope online and in print – where people eat, live, work and shop. 

 

Intent on bringing the message to our communities, we meet people where they’re at …  online, offline and in person at events around the state!  We print at least 15,000 copies 6x a year and distribute to grocery stores, a thousand businesses in addition to most recovery community organizations. 

 

Our core values are: 

  • Inclusivity – We respect and value all humans and recovery paths.
  • Optimism – We have a genuine positive outlook on life.
  • Transformation – We believe change is possible.
