Symbols of Sobriety

The Crossroads Program has 3 main symbols of sobriety

Wanna Ball

Congratulations on your decision to commit to 30 days of sobriety! To celebrate this milestone, you'll receive a “wanna ball” — a round musket ball to carry with you as a symbol of your dedication. This tangible reminder will help keep you focused on your journey and remind you of the strength within you. Embrace this commitment and let it guide you toward a brighter future!

Monkey's Fist

The monkey's fist is a unique mariner's knot designed for practical use at sea. It features a weighted ball encased within the knot, allowing crew members to easily throw a line from the ship to the dock. This knot serves as the initial touch point between the vessel and land, enabling the crew on shore to catch it, secure the line, and effectively pull the ship to safety.

The Crossroads Support Group, has adopted the monkey's fist as part of our logo. It represents our commitment to guiding newcomers from the turbulent waters of addiction to the safety of sobriety. The "fist" is suspended on a piece of leather or paracord and worn as a necklace. When a young person achieves one year of sobriety, they receive a "year’s fist," which consists of a monkey’s fist made with three hundred and sixty-five braids.

Parent Heart

This wooden heart is more than just a piece of jewelry; it's a symbol of hope and resilience for the parents of recovering young people. It features an embossed monkey's fist emblem that represents the young person who is striving for recovery. Each heart carries the essence of every Crossroads parent's unwavering love and commitment. Parents can wear it as a reminder of the journey toward healing and support.

May the knot in your gut be replaced by this symbol of hope for the drug abuser embedded in your heart.
