About this Event

We’re breaking down:

  • Why we use
  • What pulls us back

Led by NBCC Fellow Jelissa Thomas, this series is grounded in culture, honesty, and emotional connection.

Agenda
Session 1: Why We Use

Info: A real conversation about pain, pressure, and the reasons we reach for relief. We’ll unpack the emotional and cultural weight behind our coping habits—without judgment.


Session 2: What Pulls Us Back

Info: Before the relapse, there’s a trigger. In this session, we’ll explore the people, places, and patterns that lead us back—and how to break the cycle.


Session 3: Loyalty That Keeps Us Stuck

Info: Let’s talk family, friends, and “day ones.” When support gets toxic or love turns into guilt, how do you move forward? This session is all about untangling the ties that hold us down.


Session 4: The Bigger Picture

Info: It’s about more than sobriety. It’s about identity, legacy, and building a life you actually want to protect. This final session brings it all together—and helps you write your own comeback plan.
