In The Rooms is celebrating our sixteenth year anniversary online this week!
When RT and I first launched the In The Rooms social network on October 6th, 2008, we could only dream of getting as many as 10,000 members. Back then, there was much more of a stigma identifying ourselves as “recovering” addicts and alcoholics. We’re happy to say that the stigma is slowly fading. Today, we’re going strong at over a million members on In The Rooms, and over 156,000 members on our Facebook page. The lie is dead, we DO recover!
There have actually been some positive things that have happened over the last few years, even though we had to deal with the pandemic. Our meetings have grown significantly and our proprietary meeting technology keeps on improving all the time. We’ve partnered with a new group, who is helping us enhance many elements of the website. Most of you have noticed our new public homepage where you can find blogs and Newsletter articles. We’re also releasing a new treatment directory, with all kinds of helpful resources and information on recovery and treatment. We’re presently working to release a brand new mobile app for both Android and iOS, which will make our live video meetings a much better user experience on phones and mobile devices. We’re updating things all the time, mostly quietly in the background.
All in all, RT and I are deeply humbled by our success. In The Rooms has grown much larger than we ever could have imagined sixteen years ago. We’re incredibly excited by our new growth opportunities. We know that the greatest asset we have is YOU, our members! We are truly grateful for your loyalty, your commitment, and most of all, your PASSION for recovery! We wouldn’t be the same without the feeling of “community” every time we log in. For that, we owe you all a world of thanks.
In Loving Service,
Kenny P.
