Welcome to the Keep Going Movement! 🌟

Hi there! I'm Lynn Ellen, and I am so glad you're here. Whether you found us through one of our bracelets, our coffee mornings, or someone shared our community with you – you're in exactly the right place at exactly the right time.

What Is the Keep Going Movement?

This community started with a simple bracelet I made during early recovery to remind myself to keep going. One bracelet became two, became ten, and now we're making 300 bracelets monthly (and growing!). But we're more than just bracelets – we're a family of people who understand that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is just keep going, one day at a time.

What to Expect Here

This is your safe space to:

- Share your journey (no judgment, ever)

- Connect with others who get it

- Learn practical recovery tools

- Join our virtual coffee mornings

- Participate in bracelet making sessions

- Celebrate wins (big and small!)

- Find support when things get tough

Our Community Schedule

🌅 Morning Coffee Check-ins
