Why RPM exists

Recovery belongs
in the open.

Too many people carry their experiences with addiction and recovery quietly. RPM brings movement, lived stories and community into one room so we can speak honestly, celebrate what is possible and make support easier to find.

Move together

Movement creates an opening to connect with ourselves and one another.

Hear real stories

Lived experience helps replace assumptions with understanding.

Keep the connection going

Find resources, meet people and contribute to work that supports recovery.

Who it's for

Recovery is
everyone's conversation.

RPM is for people who want recovery to be visible, understood, and supported in Montréal. You might be sober-curious, in recovery, concerned about your own or someone else's substance use or addictive behaviours, or simply believe we should be able to talk about recovery and know where to turn without shame.

You're welcome whether or not you're in recovery. You can simply listen and connect; sharing your story is always your choice.
