It's been 100 days in sobriety for Nathaniel Helm.
The Rochester native has struggled with addiction for more than two decades. Wanting to inspire others with recovery, as well as keep up on his own journey, two months ago Helm started 'Recovery Rockstars' NA Group Meetings that are held at Tweedle Dee's at 725 N State Rd 25 in Rochester every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Helm said each week five to seven people attend Recovery Rockstars at the diner. Most are already in sobriety. Others are those looking to start. Helm said many times addiction can stem from not being able to to talk about problems and numbing the pain with substances. Recovery Rockstars encourages open communication, without judgement.
Wanting to make each meeting as comfortable for those attending as possible, Helm said for those who don't want to talk and would rather sit and listen to encouraging stories of sobriety, that is OK too. At Recovery Rockstars, the door is open for anyone wanting to participate, including spouses and support systems.
With dramatic, postive changes already falling into place since getting sober, Helm hopes the group and his story inspires others to break the chains of addiction in the future.
