Day 7 - Rest is not quitting. Sometimes taking care of yourself means slowing down, regrouping, and trying again. Taking time to rest, connect with people we care about, do something enjoyable, or simply slow down is part of taking care of ourselves.

Day 6 - Progress doesn’t have to be perfect to count. Small changes repeated over time can change a life. It's easy to focus on everything that still needs to change and overlook what is already changing. Small wins matter. Showing up matters. Trying again matters. What is one small win you’ve had recently? Let us know in the comments!

Day 4 - Having a bad day doesn't mean you have a bad life! When we are in the middle of something painful, it can be difficult to remember that we have survived hard days before. Try to remember what has worked in the past—safe people, coping skills, support meetings, faith, treatment, healthy distraction, movement, and giving it time to pass. What's your go-to coping skill to get through a difficult day? Let us know in the comments below.

Day 2 - What's one healthy choice you can make today? A healthy choice doesn’t have to be life-changing—it might be making it to an appointment, calling a sponsor, taking medication as prescribed, eating a meal, going to a meeting, telling the truth, setting a boundary, or simply asking for help.

We’re really proud to share this article about The Willow Center and the last 14 years.

When we first opened in Brownsburg, we were small and just focused on doing good work and helping people who were struggling. A lot has changed since then, but that part hasn’t.

We still believe asking for help takes courage. We still believe people deserve to be treated with dignity. And we still believe recovery is about so much more than stopping substance use. It’s about rebuilding relationships, finding purpose, getting connected again, and creating a life you actually want to keep living.

One thing we say often at The Willow Center is that we meet people where they are, but we don’t keep them there.

Fourteen years later, we’re still growing, still learning, and still paying attention to where the gaps are in our communities.

We’re grateful for our staff, our community partners, and most of all, the people who have trusted us to be part of their story.

Thank you to Youarecurrent for taking the time to share ours.

Fourteen years ago, Ashley English started The Willow Center in a single suite in Brownsburg. Today, the recovery center has expanded its reach while holding onto the same philosophy: Meet people where they are — but don’t let them stay there.
