“I never knew how much fun I could have sober”

"Wesley Geer led my Rock to Recovery groups in addiction and mental health treatment. He showed me how to have fun sober which was a novel concept to me at the time. I never knew how much fun I could have sober. I am five years sober now and work in the addiction and mental health field. Rock to Recovery changes lives!

“I am humbled and so thankful”

"Getting to participate with R2R has not just opened my heart up to music again, it encouraged me to engage in other forms of art in my recovery on a daily basis. I am humbled and so thankful for those who continued to show me love through music when I didn’t have the ability to love myself."

“I’ve seen this non-profit open doors that medicine just can’t do”

"From team building to opening up minds, I’ve seen this non-profit open doors that medicine just can’t do. The song writing process helps patients escape for a moment, seek clarity and reminisce. Through years of being involved with the Air Force Wounded Warrior program, I have witnessed multiple warriors return and mention that they were excited to have picked up a guitar on journal to start writing lyrics to express themselves and have found healing through music."

“Keep rocking out, it works if you ROCK IT!”

"The most elegant feature is that R2R is suitable to re-awaken the musician who has let their talent lapse, or for a non-musician who hasn't so much as even picked up a tambourine; either the client walks away with a new skill, or gets back in touch with their inner rock star. Keep rocking out, it works if you ROCK IT!"

“I felt such deep sense of peace and balance”

I have done two breath work meditation sessions with Rock to Recovery and it completely blew my mind!! I have never experienced anything like that. It’s an amazing relief from anxiety for me. I felt such deep sense of peace and balance during and after the sessions. I can not express enough how grateful I am to Rock to Recovery for these incredible sessions! I never knew how much I needed it.

Thank you so much!! 🙏

You inspired the spark inside

"First, just wanted to thank you for doing what you do. Your sessions were the thing that spoke to me the most during my stay, and have helped me to not even think about getting loaded since I've left. Was truly life changing to hear your story and see how you made a change through music. I've actually decided to pursue becoming an audio engineer and I can truly say that you inspired the spark inside, that gave me the courage to finally think I could still be in the music industry after deciding to become sober. I just surpassed 55 days and haven't looked back. Stoked to send you some of my work some day!"

Five Activities to Reduce Anxiety Symptoms

Most of us are feeling at least some anxiety now. Standard causes of anxiety are compounded by the pandemic, the concern created by the mishmash of reopening rules and strife some feel around vaccinations and emerging Covid-19 variants. There’s a lot to be anxious about!

Five Ways to Improve Your Mental Health by Volunteering

Volunteering in support of activities you care about is a great way to feel better mentally and emotionally. Whether your passion brings you to volunteer with groups that serve animals, youth, the homeless, libraries, or any number of fabulous causes, volunteering will improve your mood and overall outlook on life.

What to Do After Rehab

Those who don’t get support after rehab often relapse. Leaving rehab requires planning. This plan usually consists of a list of names of people to call for support. It may include a therapist, the appropriate local 12-step hotline, and more. Many, if not most, people leaving treatment find the idea of calling those numbers overwhelming. Here are six actions to prevent relapse.

Is Self-Care Selfish?

Is taking care of yourself a selfish act? After all, taking care of one’s self may mean deprioritizing others who need or depend upon you. To take a walk, you may need to put an elderly parent or child in the care of another for an hour. Enjoying a soaking bath may require setting firm boundaries that others not bang on the door for a period of thirty minutes.

The Benefits of a Recovery Coach

Gathering additional support in the pandemic is what your recovery may need. A recovery coach is an individual who provides mentoring and support services to someone early in recovery from addiction or to a person who has a particular obstacle they are struggling to overcome at any point in their recovery.

ABOUT US

Rock to Recovery was created to help soothe the restless souls of those in recovery. We do this by creating a “band” and writing and recording songs together with Rock to Recovery’s staff of professional musicians, who are also in recovery. We help bring fun into treatment and recovery by offering a natural escape from the fear-based mind. This helps people grow a sense of belonging and self esteem. We help to vent emotions by writing lyrics and singing together for release, in real-time. We tie in a positive theme of hope in recovery throughout the whole process. When the session is done, our “band” members feel a new energy all throughout their minds and spirits.

 

Music is a powerful tool, proven to help soothe the soul. For someone in recovery, learning to have clean and sober fun, feeling a part of, connecting to a group, and quieting the mind are keys to a successful new life. It’s time to feel good in all that we do. Rock to Recovery gives people, such as recovering addicts/alcoholics, victims of abuse, troubled teens, or any individual in recovery, a chance to have fun expressing themselves, working as a group, and experiencing the natural high only music can produce.

DONATE

Our non-profit entity proudly accepts donations to help further our cause, helping people recover through music! Donations finance our efforts to bring our music program to people and facilities that typically do not have funding for our services.

As a non-profit, donations to Rock to Recovery are tax deductible.

For in-kind donations, sponsorship, and other opportunities to give, please email us through our “contact” page.

THANK YOU!
