President Trump and RFK Jr. just announced “The Great American Recovery Initiative” to tackle addiction. “Recovery is not a side issue, it’s an economic issue, a workforce issue, a family issue, a national security issue.” “When Americans recover, communities grow stronger.” “When families heal, children thrive.” “When we confront addiction with courage instead of complacency, we reclaim the promise of our country.” “This initiative is about life, it’s about responsibility, and it’s about building a great American recovery together.”

“Addiction doesn’t discriminate, but recovery can look just like you and me.” White House Senior Advisor on Addiction Kathryn Burgum joined Fox News Sunday and host Shannon Bream to discuss the Great American Recovery and the importance of changing how America understands and addresses addiction and treatment. Under President Trump’s leadership, Secretary Kennedy and Co-Chair Burgum are advancing an approach that recognizes addiction as a chronic, relapsing brain disease while putting recovery, hope, and saving American lives at the forefront.

The handover of municipal land to the Zion Christian Church (ZCC) marks a step in the City of Tshwane’s commitment to strengthening partnerships with faith-based organisations. Religious organisations are an important partner in building strong communities. They are our co-leaders. Far too often, they serve as spaces for the spiritual guidance and support that is often needed to keep families and communities together. The administration values this role and that’s why we’ve continued to nurture our relationship with Tshwane faith based organisations. City of Tshwane

Right now, state funding cannot be used for sober, recovery-focused housing. That limits our city’s ability to support people who are working hard to get—and stay—sober. Today, I stood with Assemblymember Matt Haney in support of AB 1556, a bill that will allow cities to use state resources to create and expand drug-free recovery housing—giving people the stability and support they need to rebuild their lives. Recovery is not one-size-fits-all, and our system shouldn’t be either. We’ve already seen the impact of this approach in San Francisco with projects like Hope House—a sober shelter that I visited recently—which has a 78% success rate of moving residents into long-term recovery options. To everyone struggling or working to stay in recovery, we are working every day to build a system that supports you. And we’re not going to stop. Thank you to Assemblymember Haney for your leadership and to the Bay Area Council and all of our partners.

The courage and kindness I’ve seen today in flood affected communities is the very best of Australia. This region has been through so much, and every level of government is working to provide support. We’re activating the Australian Government Disaster Recovery Payment of $1,000 for the hardest hit. And we’re extending the Disaster Recovery Allowance to more areas. ADF personnel and Disaster Relief Australia teams are being deployed to help with the clean up and welfare checks. The floodwaters are receding, but the risks remain. Please stay safe. We’ll be here for the recovery, every step of the way.

This is more than just a building, it’s a lifeline for those grappling with addiction and working to reclaim their lives. There is no compassion in leaving people to suffer, and through Alberta’s Recovery Model, we’re putting real, long-term care within reach of every Albertan facing this fight. This milestone, opening our 4th recovery community in Calgary, honours our commitment to each individual who chooses hope over hardship, and strengthens our belief that true recovery is possible when the supports are in place. In Alberta, we don’t stand by, we respond with real help.

Eight years since I first shared my journey with the world, and more than 14 years of being in recovery from pornography and sex addiction. Recovery isn’t just a word—it’s a way of life. It’s a commitment to reclaim what was lost, to heal from what was stolen, and to discover parts of myself I never knew were there. Recovery is an ongoing process, a constant renewal where I’m always getting my life back, one day at a time. If you’re struggling, know this: you are not alone, and healing is within reach. There’s a path forward, no matter how dark things might seem. Recovery is real. It’s hard work, but it’s worth every step. Reach out. Find your support. Take that first step. Let’s lift each other up on this journey. 🙏 #RecoveryIsReal #14YearsStrong #GetYourLifeBack #SexAddictionRecovery #RecoveryJourney #HopeAndHealing”

The cross standing on the hill is a powerful reminder of the faith and resilience that define our Hill Country. We’ll keep working until the job is done. #HillCountryStrong
