An important lesson I've learned in recovery: getting clean and getting better aren't the same thing. Abstinence alone is white-knuckle pain. Recovery is the real work. 14 years in, this is still the truest thing I know. #RealRecovery

1,000 days sober. What started as a decision became a new life. A better husband. A better father. A better friend. A better version of myself. I didn't do it alone. My wife stood beside me through the hard days, the rebuilding, the healing, and the growth. The greatest gift sobriety gave me wasn't what I quit. It was what I got back. My family. My health. My purpose. My future. One day at a time. 1,000 days later... I'm grateful for every one of them. @DrRobKiltz @copsandcampers ❤️ #1000DaysSober #Grateful #KetoFiveO #FamilyFirst #Sobriety #RealRecovery

Love it when my crew uses powerful terms like abstinence- considering “recovery” has been hijacked. We all know it takes an addict to heal an addict. Only doctors and people sitting in offices use terms like “remission.” #RealRecovery #EachOneTeachOne

Scammed but still hopeful? @SMARTRECOVERY10 is the legit team that helped me recover my money and had no upfront costs, unlike fake services. #RealRecovery #ScamNoMore

Drug-free housing options is a no-brainer. SF is now at 30% of all OD deaths happening inside "supportive" housing. Let's get this passed @mattdorsey ~ then let's go for STATE changes 🙏🏼 #WeDoRecover #RealRecovery

I know the losses sting hard right now. I know that voice saying "just one more to recover it all" feels like your only hope. I know the stress, the borrowing, the hiding from family... it's real. But hear me: Chasing the loss is how you lose even more. The ONLY real recovery starts when you STOP completely. No "small stake," no "test run." Full stop. Your peace, your hustle, your future—they're worth way more than any app promise. God got better plans than odds. Redirect that energy to real moves. Who's choosing freedom today? Drop STOP below if you're breaking the cycle with me this February. Or share your story—no judgment here. Let's support each other. #QuitBetting #NoMoreBets #GamblingAwareness #StopGambling #NaijaHustle #RealRecovery #BreakTheChain

And let's be real... he's also hilarious and just the right amount of nutty, which makes all that intensity and passion actually bearable to be around. 😄 Grateful to call you a friend, Steve. Here's to 15 years and many more. 🙏 #RealRecovery

So proud you! #RealRecovery #EachOneTeachOne

Tom, Please remind Goldman School of Public Policy that “housing” is not an evidence-based response to addiction. In active addiction we are promised 3 things: Jails, Institutions, and Death. CA has removed the first two - any wonder why OD deaths are off the hook? #RealRecovery

Love me some Manny! This guy ALWAYS shows up for his community. Thanks Manny 🙏🏼 #RealRecovery

Adonis was shot 5 times, stabbed 3 times, and wrapped up in San Francisco gang life. From state prison to a life in recovery full of hope. @TheWayOutSF is transforming San Francisco one life at a time. #RealRecovery

As a person in recovery, it's an affront to me that the harm reductionists are trying to "redefine" recovery when it's quite simple. Recovery begins when you put the dope down. Not use less. This guy is dead. #realrecovery

Great job, Tom! #RealRecovery @Gina_McDee

Lydia Bransten runs the Gubbio Project in San Francisco. They say it's a stabilization center. Looks stable to me. We should all go to Manny's on September 25 and tell her what we think. #RealRecovery @SteveAdami @Gina_McDee @CeddieHussle @andres_wiken 📹

Housing First with no path to recovery & independence isn't working. It traps people in dependency, not freedom. #RethinkPolicy #RealRecovery @StopDrugDeaths
