How does Michelle Palmer's #soberinbanderatx initiative contribute to community well-being?

I share my own clean time and story (like #917daysclean and #wedorecover) to show that long-term recovery is possible and worth it. That helps reduce stigma so more people feel safe asking for help.

I use my platform to talk about bringing recovery resources to Bandera, TX, encouraging connection, meetings, and sober events so people don’t have to struggle alone.

By speaking openly about resilience and sober life, I’m trying to shift the community conversation from shame to support, which strengthens families and mental health overall.
