Holiday Nights at Greenfield Village

Posted on January 13, 2022 by Main Office

Every year, Doorway to Recovery participants have the option to take part in Life Recovery Outings to Greenfield Village’s Holiday Nights celebration in Dearborn, MI. These nights are filled with chilly air, warm cocoa, and the sounds of carolers in the air.  These nights bring about a sense of holiday wonder, but also a feeling of reunification– between those getting their lives on track in sober living homes and their families.  Nothing beats the sense of watching a recovering father, take his little daughter to watch Santa Claus, with his red-and-white clothing jollily bringing a sense of awe and wonder into peoples’ lives.

If only every night could be like Holiday Nights at the Village.  But alas, they’re not, and that’s like life in recovery.  Some days people have great days, life in pink, living in the clouds, enjoying every minute of it.  Sometimes the days aren’t as fun, and are just plain difficult; where burdens, stresses, and anxieties tear through one’s thoughts.  Sober living helps people learn to adapt to life, without the use of drugs and alcohol, through the ups and the downs.  Structured in sober living homes is the cornerstone to successful addiction recovery, and structure is the key to a full Life Recovery.

“D.T.R. Men Send Joy to Healthcare Workers and First Responders”

Posted on April 21, 2020 by Main Office

Through the stressful and uncertain times that we are living in, now more than ever we must shine the spotlight on the good that we find around us.  The men at the Doorway to Recovery, Palmer House, took the time to show their support for medical staff and first responders, by beautifully painting the landmark rock in front of the men’s home.

The men, and women, at D.T.R. are living examples that during trying times, recovery works.  While things like AA, NA, Celebrate Recovery; therapy and counseling; church and religious services; and even yoga and guided meditation may have moved to the online realm, the principle of one addict or one alcoholic helping another never changes.  Sober living provides accountability.

To all the healthcare workers and first responders, thank you for your service.  For everyone else, wash your hands and practice social distancing to the best of your ability.  Remember this lesson from recovery, that together we can do anything we set our minds to.  God bless you and stay strong.
