Taking Back Ohio

💛 Help us celebrate our man Logan!! 👊

At last Monday’s Taking Back Ohio meeting at the Erie County Health Department, we had the honor of celebrating Logan and his 90 DAYS of continuous recovery! 💛🎉
THAT’S 3 MONTHS!!👊

We still remember the very first day Logan walked through our doors. Like so many others, he took a courageous first step into a room full of strangers. Since that day, he’s kept showing up, staying connected, and doing the work. Recovery isn’t always easy, but Logan has continued to move forward one day at a time.

We’ve had the privilege of walking alongside Logan throughout his journey, and watching his confidence, resilience, and growth has been incredible. These 90 days represent so much more than a number—they represent hope, commitment, and a life that’s being rebuilt.

Logan, we are incredibly proud of you and grateful that you’re part of the TBO family. Keep doing what you’re doing. The best is still ahead! 💪

Please help us congratulate Logan on this amazing milestone! Drop a 👊, 💛, or some words of encouragement in the comments!

This is recovery.
This is Ohioans thriving in recovery.

🎉 Help us celebrate APRIL!! 🎉

This past Monday at our Taking Back Ohio meeting at the Erie County Health Department, we had the absolute privilege of celebrating April and an incredible milestone…

🖤 TWO YEARS of continuous recovery! 👊

Two years of choosing hope over hopelessness.
Two years of showing up.
Two years of growth, healing, courage, and perseverance.
Two years of proving that recovery is possible—one day at a time.

Recovery isn’t about being perfect. It’s about continuing to move forward, even when life gets hard. Milestones like this represent thousands of decisions to keep going, to stay connected, and to never give up.

April, we are incredibly proud of you and grateful that you’ve allowed us to be a small part of your journey. Your strength, resilience, and determination inspire all of us, and we can’t wait to see what your future holds.

Please help us congratulate April on this amazing accomplishment! Drop a 👊, a 🖤, or a few words of encouragement in the comments to help celebrate 2 years strong!

This is recovery.
This is Ohioans thriving in recovery.

🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸

Today, we celebrate 250 years of the American experiment—a nation founded on the bold belief that freedom, liberty, and opportunity belong to every person.

At Taking Back Ohio, we honor the vision and courage of our Founding Fathers, who risked everything to establish a republic built on hope rather than tyranny.

We proudly salute the generations of American servicemen and women who have answered the call to defend those ideals. From Lexington and Concord to today’s battlefields, your sacrifice has protected the freedoms we too often take for granted. As a veteran-founded organization, we are deeply grateful for your service.

We also celebrate the millions of immigrants who came to this country seeking a better life. Their determination, hard work, innovation, and unwavering belief in the American Dream helped build the communities we call home and strengthened our nation with every generation.

Our country has never been perfect—but America has always been a place where people can overcome adversity, rebuild their lives, and write a new chapter. Every day at Taking Back Ohio, we witness that spirit in action through the incredible people we serve. Recovery is proof that hope is real, second chances matter, and tomorrow can be better than today.

As fireworks light up the sky tonight, may we all take a moment to remember those who built this nation, those who continue to defend it, and those who believe enough in its promise to call it home.

From all of us at Taking Back Ohio…

Happy 4th of July, and Happy America 250! 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙
