Glorious Recovery Foundation

Vision
A world where people impacted by substance use disorder has a place to be and things to do regardless of their addiction struggles. These activities include concerts, sporting events, running clubs, game nights, arts and crafts, wellness events, movie outings, educational sessions, or simply going out for coffee or dinner. Uniting together will transform lives, decrease stigma, spread the abundance of recovery, and pass it forward by helping others.
We know that we have a challenging, yet possible vision. With your support, we can help millions of people. We are convinced that those struggling today with additional recovery services can obtain long-term recovery.
Main Goal
Glorious Recovery has one goal in mind and that is to inspire anyone who has been impacted by SUD to find recovery, stay in recovery, and go all-out for long-term recovery
Value Proposition
Glorious Recovery Foundation presents an incredible and unique opportunity to help those who are still struggling with SUD!
Most who enter recovery have the following in common: an estranged or broken relationship with their families, lost jobs (or none at all), fewer opportunities, financially depleted, mentally shattered, and spiritually bankrupt. Through our own experience, we have found that uniting ourselves with others impacted by addition was incredibly healing. We found job opportunities, mended relationships with others’ support, re-established our financial status, and most importantly built recovery capital. All of this together helped many stay in recovery and become amazing “Persons in long term recovery!”
Glorious Recovery is positioned perfectly to bridge the treatment and recovery support services gap which, in turn, will assist all those who are struggling in recovery. Hope needs to be restored, not only in the recovering person, meaning it is imperative to include their families, kids, and friends. Additionally, Recovery Coaching will play a critical role to ease the transition into a substance-free lifestyle and motivating everyone in the family to participate in the events.
Our joint teams are giving, helping, fully engaged, and ready to make an impact by showing that life in recovery is beautiful, fun, and possible.
We could not—and would not—be where we are today without those who have contributed to our cause. With over 256 deaths daily and substance use being recognized as an epidemic, our organizations are already making an immense difference, but we need everyone’s help because we cannot do this alone.

Glorious Recovery will unite, encourage, and motivate people recovering from substance use disorder to pursue long-term recovery by:
• Hosting and facilitating fun activities and events, such as concerts, sporting events, skiing trips, and camping, while providing financial assistance to those in recovery who can’t afford to attend
• Building a large Recovery Community using digital media where people will support each other and share local recovery events in CT
• Partnering with CT Universities to build technology solutions, providing transparency and visibility on all recovery events across Northeast
• Leveraging the Recovery Coach program to mentor, motivate, and empower Recoverees to participate in the events
• Partnering with other CT organizations to organize large scale events
• Collaborating with a healthy lifestyle organization and encouraging the recovery community to leverage existing resources to begin healthy living
• Informing recovery communities about the “world of recovery” by sending newsletters, posting educational articles, and videos
• Uniting individuals impacted by SUD, including families, kids, and friends, as well as grieving families who have lost their loved one
• Empowering people in recovery to get involved and engage them to create and host new events under the Glorious Recovery umbrella
• Inspiring individuals in recovery to grow their professional skills by providing scholarships to attend higher education, seek professional certifications and/or complete continuing education courses.
• Understanding the needs of grieving families and organizing activities “In Memory” of those who we have lost
• Creating the “Recovery is the New Cool” campaign to squash the stigma, including designing apparel, promotional items, recovery stories, blogs, videos, and social media posts.
• Building relationships with the recovery community across CT, by establishing Glorious Recovery Lounge and “Recovery is the New Cool” Shop, where anyone at any time will be able to come and enjoy sober time with their friends and families

The main key to our success is collaborations, partnerships, and establishing strong relationships with organizations that understand there is a national addiction epidemic across the United States, and we all need to come together to make a difference. But Glorious Recovery is planning to go way beyond those who already know that fact, we will reach out to businesses (large or small), employers, prevention organizations, town councils, schools, and anyone who will give us time to listen.
