About Us
Building trust through transparency, lived experience, and community-centered care.
Why We Exist
Spiritual Gratitude Recovery exists to create safe, sober spaces where individuals in recovery can rebuild stability, purpose, and community through peer support, wellness practices, and access to essential resources.
Where We're Headed
We envision a Wilmington where every person in recovery has access to a supportive community, safe housing, meaningful work, and the resources needed to thrive — not just survive.
Founded on Lived Experience
Founded in North Carolina by individuals with lived experience in recovery and community service, Spiritual Gratitude Recovery was created to address the growing need for accessible, non-judgmental recovery spaces in the Wilmington area.
Our founders recognized that recovery extends far beyond the initial steps of sobriety. Lasting change requires a supportive community, structured programming, access to wellness resources, and opportunities for meaningful contribution.
Today, SGR operates as a community hub — a place where individuals can attend peer-led meetings, participate in wellness programs, access emergency support, and build the skills needed for long-term stability. Every program we offer is rooted in the understanding that recovery is a journey, and no one should walk it alone.
What Guides Us
These principles shape every decision we make, every program we design, and every interaction we have.

Safety
