Real Progress Is Happening — Thank You + Big News from the Northwoods

Hey everyone — Belle here from Progress Is Progress LLC.

I’m coming to you with a full heart and some real updates from the front lines of recovery in the Northwoods.

First — a huge THANK YOU. Because of our very first generous donor, we were able to provide free services to a client who walked through the door in desperate need. They couldn’t have afforded it otherwise, and that session made a difference. Your donation didn’t just help “the cause” — it helped a real person take that first (or next) step toward rebuilding their life.

This is exactly why I started this fundraiser.

Every dollar does three powerful things:

Keeps the doors open so I can continue this work without losing my own home, car, or ability to feed my kids.
Makes services accessible for people who are ready for change but can’t pay full price right now.
Helps build community — specifically by sponsoring our upcoming Real Talk Recovery: Progress in the Northwoods event.

Mark your calendars: Saturday, November 21, 2026 in the Lac du Flambeau area. We’re bringing in keynote speaker Tom Farley (recovery advocate, author, and brother of Chris Farley) along with panels, story circles, practical tools, breakouts on trauma/relapse/stigma/brain science, a resource fair, art, open mic, and real connection for everyone — people in recovery, those still struggling, family members, and anyone touched by this disease.

This is a completely community-sponsored, FREE event — no barriers, just hope and progress. We need your help to make it happen.

If you’re in this fight — I want to hear from you.

Currently in addiction and looking for help?
In recovery and have a story to share?
Love someone battling this disease?
Lost someone to addiction?

Reach out. Share your story here in the comments, on my Substack, or directly with me. Even if you can’t give cash right now, your story could be the exact thing that reaches someone you’ll never meet — giving them that “me too” moment that sparks real change.

Progress is Progress — whether it’s a mile or a millimeter.

If you can donate today, it directly fuels the work, the scholarships, and this event: https://gofund.me/1cfa6efd2 If you can’t, share this update far and wide and consider telling your story. Both matter more than you know.

Thank you for being part of this community. Let’s keep building something real together. 💪

So what is the blog about anyway?

My blog is a humble collection of thoughts and stories, aimed at shedding light on the personal and professional aspects of addiction and recovery. As a counselor who has personally navigated these waters, I offer my insights with the hope of providing comfort and understanding. Through my posts, I share not just the clinical side of addiction and recovery but also the deeply human experiences that accompany this journey. It is a place for those seeking knowledge, connection, and a sense of community in the face of such challenges. I believe in the power of shared stories and experiences to educate and inspire. This blog is my way of offering support and understanding to anyone touched by addiction—whether it's personal or through a loved one. It's an invitation to join a conversation that respects and empathizes with the complex path of recovery. So, if you're looking for a space that combines professional counseling insights with real-life experiences of addiction and recovery, I welcome you to read my blog. It's a resource for anyone seeking guidance, hope, or simply a deeper understanding of these issues that touch so many lives.
