We know because we’re living it.
The Other Side of Rock Bottom, Inc. (OSRB) is a nonprofit recovery community offering free peer support to people impacted by addiction, mental health challenges, and trauma. Our founder and every member of our Board of Directors are people in recovery. This work is personal to us.
Through three daily online meetings and community outreach, we offer connection, encouragement, and practical support as people rebuild their lives—one day at a time.
We welcome all recovery pathways, all backgrounds, and people of every faith or no faith. You do not have to have everything figured out to belong here. You deserve dignity, respect, and a place where you can show up honestly.
Whether you’re taking your first step, starting again, or still stumbling forward, there is room for you here.
The Other Side of Rock Bottom, Inc. supports people impacted by addiction, mental health challenges, and trauma through free daily recovery meetings and community outreach.
We meet people where they are, honor all recovery pathways, and offer practical tools, honest conversation, and encouragement from people with lived experience. Together, we work on rebuilding trust in ourselves, strengthening connections, and taking the next step toward a meaningful life.
Our work is grounded in compassion, informed by science and trauma awareness, and inspired by the belief that every person has worth. Faith is welcome here, and no religious belief is required to receive support.
We cannot walk someone’s recovery journey for them. We can walk beside them—one day, one choice, and one hopeful step at a time.
Our Vision
We envision a world where people impacted by addiction, mental health challenges, and trauma can find support without shame, judgment, or a price tag standing in the way.
A world where asking for help is met with compassion. Where every recovery pathway is respected. Where people feel safe to be themselves and know that their lives matter—even on the days they struggle to believe it.
We want people to have more than a place to get through a difficult day. We want them to find belonging, rediscover purpose, rebuild relationships, and imagine a future they’re excited to live.
Inspired by faith and grounded in the dignity of every person, we’re working toward communities where hope becomes something people can see, feel, and pass along.
There is life on The Other Side of Rock Bottom—and everyone deserves the opportunity to discover what that life can look like for them.
We show up for one another, 365 days a year. Our free online meetings offer space to learn, listen, share, and build connections with people who understand.
We talk about life: boundaries, grief, self-worth, accountability, relationships, and finding our way through difficult days. We bring practical recovery tools, trauma-informed learning, honest conversation, and room for laughter.
Connection reaches beyond our online meetings. Through speaking visits and recovery-house meetings, we share lived experience and encouragement in person.
Our Dignity Backpack program provides donated essentials and a personal reminder that someone cares. We’re also building relationships with local organizations to help people connect with resources and support.
Whether someone needs a meeting, encouragement, or help finding a resource, we start by listening.
Governance
