September is official Recovery Month of 2009–Happy Recovery to you all.
Recovery Month focuses attention to alcohol and drug addiction, the professionals who work so tirelessly treating thousands, and to the benefits of treating, not punishing, substance abuse. Above all else, this event allows us to celebrate those who have or are courageously finding their way towards recovery.
On this first day of Recovery Month, we take this time to celebrate you, wherever you may be in your recovery, and we encourage you to take a moment to celebrate yourself. Do something special today. Reach out and celebrate a fellow-addict. Reflect upon your own recovery and all that you have accomplished.
Share with us your own recovery story and how you will celebrate this month.
