“I don’t really believe in the idea that you have to hit rock bottom to change,” Strode, 51, tells PEOPLE. “I think you need a moment of perspective where you're clear-headed enough to see a change that seems obtainable.”
On July 24th, The Phoenix celebrated a significant milestone with the 500,000th member joining its community. This achievement highlights the impact of The Phoenix’s mission, which began 18 years ago with the goal of providing a supportive space for addiction recovery. The milestone reflects the dedication of its staff, volunteers, and supporters, and marks a pivotal moment in redefining recovery. Despite this success, the organization acknowledges the ongoing challenge of addressing substance use issues, with nearly 48 million Americans still affected. The celebration is both a recognition of past achievements and a renewed call to action, urging continued involvement to drive forward a movement that offers hope and support to all in need.
Mark your calendars: Sign-ups for our annual Moab Retreat open on Friday, March 1st at 8am PST/11am EST! We love this event, and we want YOU to be a part of it.
