🧰 Your Toolbox for Sobriety: Resources for Men in Albuquerque’s Sober Living Homes
Intro: Building a Foundation for Recovery
When you start your sober journey, you don’t need to have it all figured out—you just need the right tools. And here in Albuquerque, those tools are everywhere. From strong recovery networks to outdoor escapes that clear your mind, this city is built for new beginnings.
🧩 The Basics: Meetings, Sponsors, and Support
You’ll never have to walk this road alone. Albuquerque’s recovery community is one of the strongest in the Southwest, offering meetings every day of the week. Whether you prefer the structure of AA, the openness of NA, or the science-backed approach of SMART Recovery, there’s a group here that fits your rhythm.
Local Meeting Hotspots:
💡 Tip: Try a few different meetings before settling on one. You’ll find a space that feels right—and people who get where you’re coming from.
💪 Health, Healing, and Professional Growth
Recovery doesn’t stop at sobriety. Taking care of your body, mind, and work life is how you build long-term stability. Albuquerque has programs that make that possible.
For mental and physical health:
UNM Health Behavioral Services – Accessible therapy & counseling
Presbyterian Recovery Services – Integrated medical & addiction support
Albuquerque Center for Hope and Recovery – Peer-based men’s programs
For career and stability:
New Mexico Workforce Connection – Job training & re-entry help

💡 Pro Tip: Set small goals—get a job, build a routine, and keep stacking wins. Every paycheck and meeting attended is a brick in your foundation.
🏃♂️ Body in Motion: Physical Wellness in Recovery
Physical activity doesn’t just reduce stress—it resets your nervous system, keeps cravings at bay, and helps you sleep better. Luckily, Albuquerque is basically an outdoor gym.
Best places to move your body:
Bosque Trail – River views & endless walking paths
Sandia Foothills – Quick hikes, big peace
Planet Fitness or Defined Fitness – Affordable, recovery-friendly gyms
💡 Quick win: Start with a 30-minute walk. Some of the best recovery talks happen side-by-side.
🌱 Building Roots: Community and Giving Back
Sobriety grows stronger when you start giving it away. Albuquerque’s recovery scene thrives because people show up—for each other, and for the city.
