October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 🎀🩷

Here’s something many people don’t know: alcohol is one of the risk factors for breast cancer that we can actually do something about.

📌 About 16% of breast cancer cases in the U.S. are linked to alcohol.

📌 For breast cancer, risk may start to climb at around one drink a day or less.

📌 Alcohol is the third leading preventable cause of cancer in the U.S., after to***co and obesity, yet fewer than half of Americans know it’s a risk factor.

To everyone in our recovery community: every day you choose recovery, you’re caring for your whole self, body included. That’s worth celebrating. 💜

And whatever your story, this month is a good time to take one more step for your health. Women should begin getting mammograms every other year starting at age 40.

If you’re due or overdue, make the call this week. If it feels overwhelming, bring it to a meeting or ask a friend to go with you.

We do hard things together.

We’re so proud to share that Ryan Sumler, PRA’s Director of Outreach, was recognized by the State of Indiana, Senate District 4, for his selfless service after the August 11 derecho.

When the storm tore through Portage and left many of our neighbors without power for nearly two weeks, Ryan was right there in the middle of it, helping with cleanup, getting food to families, and checking on the people who needed it most.

But anyone who knows Ryan knows the storm wasn’t the exception. Nearly every day, he’s out in our community meeting people exactly where they are. Offering support. Volunteering his time. Making sure no one feels alone.

That steady, everyday presence is recovery in action, and it makes Portage a better place to call home.

Ryan, thank you for your heart, your hustle, and for representing PRA with so much integrity. We are lucky to have you on our team. 🙌

Every week, hundreds of people walk through our doors at PRA. Some are celebrating years of recovery. Some are walking in for the very first time, unsure of what to expect. Every one of them deserves a warm welcome.

That’s where you come in. 💜

We’re looking for volunteers to:

☕ Serve at the Next Chapter Café

We’re proud to recognize our Vice President, Nick Cialdella for the expertise and leadership he brings to Portage Recovery Association. 💜

Nick recently had the opportunity to co-present a CEU on Early Intervention for Substance Use Disorder in partnership with Crown Counseling

The training focused on recognizing risk and warning signs, family engagement, screening and early intervention, co-occurring mental health needs, appropriate response, referral pathways, and connecting individuals to the right level of support when timing matters most.

We’re grateful for Nick’s commitment to sharing his knowledge, strengthening partnerships, and helping build a community where people can be connected to support when they need it most.

Thank you, Nick, for representing PRA and continuing to make a difference through education and collaboration. 💜

Some of the most important moments in recovery don’t happen during the meeting. They happen in the parking lot, over a cup of coffee, or in the five minutes before the chairs fill up.

That’s where a phone number gets shared. That’s where someone says “me too” and means it.

That’s where a newcomer realizes they’re not the only one.

So come a little early. Stay a little late. Grab a coffee at the Next Chapter Café and say hi to someone you don’t know yet. You never know whose day you’ll change, including your own.

There’s always a seat saved for you. 💜
