You probably have 30 or 60 days sober, or maybe getting close to 1 or 2 years, whatever time you have in sobriety, have you ever asked yourself where you are going or where you want to be?
By where I’m not talking about a physical location, but a mindset. This is about how you see your cup, half-full or half empty. Mindset is about optimism, and it doesn’t magically happen, you must invest in it. One of the goals of our alumni program is to promote a positive mindset, so you can well balance your mind, body, and spirit to live a healthy and fulfilling life. We want to see you counting your sober days not only by making checking marks on your calendar but by celebrating each day because you have invested in your recovery, especially by allowing yourself to have fun and getting out of your selfishness by helping others. Move forward, we are here to support you!

Alumni Spotlight
“My name is Kyle and I am a recovered alcoholic. That’s something I’m proud to say. I never knew that was an option for me. Internally I never felt right in my own skin. I was always looking for purpose in my life, and I didn’t think it would ever come. To me, life was a burden we all had to endure. I was broken physically, mentally, and spiritually. I was angry that God had forgotten me. Little did I know that God had a plan for me.
I started drinking at 13 years old. My first taste of liquor made me feel normal and accepted. Finally, I had found something that had turned those internal thoughts off. My love for alcohol grew in high school where I was already getting a reputation for partying to the point I showed up for football practice still drunk. In my head that was normal and nobody cared. Alcoholism had already taken over my life. My drinking only got heavier in college. I was arrested multiple times, and yet I still couldn’t stay stopped. I begged my family to keep me in jail. There I could not hurt anyone anymore. My internal feeling finally matched my appearance. I no longer recognized myself in the mirror. My heart was failing. Getting out of bed was a struggle. I didn’t want tomorrow to come. I couldn’t stop by myself. Finally, my family told me it was time to get help. I found Infinite Recovery. They showed me a different path and saved my life. I realized I was lost, not God. I am so grateful for everything in my past because it has led me here today. I can finally look at myself in the mirror. Getting sober is just the beginning for me. I no longer fear tomorrow. I can’t wait to see what God has planned for me tomorrow.”

What Are We Up To?
We have enjoyed the Texas 100+ degree weather! On July 16th we rowed kayaks and paddle boards at Lady Bird Lake. A big thanks to The Phoenix! On July 30th, we met for food, fellowship and fun at the pool. To close the month, we volunteer at the Central Texas Food Bank and prepared 882 boxes to be distributed to our neighbors in need.
