The social model is based on living life together through building healthy, transparent, and meaningful relationships.<\/p>\n<p>This year has been a very exciting time with many activities here at in2Action. A lot of our guys come to us from prison never having had the opportunity to experience many of the things that we do here monthly. This year has been filled with memorable life-changing experiences such as zip-lining at Caveman Ziplines, nature hikes, and barbecues at parks throughout the state, recovery conventions, the NA Huzzah Valley float trip, which is a favorite, to our annual in2Action Current River float trip\/retreat. We\u2019ve attended Cardinal\u2019s and Tiger\u2019s games and had competitions among ourselves with the In2action\/ROC recovery games and competed against the Fresh Start program in our inaugural softball tournament. We finished the activities out this year with a trip to Branson\u2019s Sight and Sound Theater to watch the live production of Jesus followed by a meal at The Hill restaurant in Springfield. We did the team challenge at Mizzou\u2019s high ropes course and had our in2Action Christmas party which is held at The Crossing Church. We\u2019ll finish out the year with a secret Santa gift event on Christmas morning.<\/p>\n<p>Recovery is possible and community makes it happen. Building relationships through shared experiences, both pleasant and unpleasant, holding each other accountable is where the magic happens. We look forward to more activities next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>icantWEcan is the motto we follow here at in2Action, and we believe that the social model of recovery is the most realistic route to success.
