The National Day of Prayer for Recovery is a powerful gathering of faith, hope, and healing—uniting families, communities, and leaders across the nation to lift those struggling with substance use disorder and to remember the lives lost to the fentanyl crisis. On this day, faith leaders from across America will pray for strength, guidance, and restoration, believing that no one walks the journey alone and that the miracle of Recovery is for everyone. We will also celebrate those in recovery and all the fantastic programs and providers nationwide who provide compassion and care.
With hearts joined in faith, we seek hope for every struggling person, encouragement for families who carry the weight of this crisis, and support for proven treatment pathways that bring healing and freedom. As a country, we stand united, declaring that recovery is possible, families can be restored, and communities can heal.
This day is more than a moment of prayer—it is a movement of love, compassion, and unwavering belief that together, through faith, hope, and treatment, we can overcome the fentanyl crisis and build a future filled with recovery and renewal for all Americans.

From the Crackhouse to the White House
"From the Crack House to the White House" delves into the gripping and inspiring journey of Tonja Myles as she overcomes the depths of despair to find redemption and purpose in her life.From a young age, Tonja was plagued by sexual abuse and torment. Seeking solace from the pain, she turned to drugs and sex, spiraling down a dark and dangerous path. Men became her sponsors, fueling her addiction while masking her emotional wounds. Desperate to escape the torment of her existence, Tonja found herself attempting suicide multiple times. But fate had different plans.
"As a little girl, I always love to entertain people and make them laugh. My family always created spaces for me to do just that. But one day I became this little girl who had no desire to live. I carried pain and shame that my small body frame was not able to handle. One day I died, and nobody grieved for me. That trauma followed me throughout my life. Until one day I fought my way to live!"
