As August comes to an end and we prepare for September, most of the country is thinking of weather changing and all the things that come with Fall like Pumpkin-Spice everything, Halloween, and the slow encroachment of winter holidays on the autumn months.
Seriously, one day we’ll start decorating for winter holidays in July-it’s ridiculous.
For others, September has a different meaning. It’s a time to stand proudly among peers as a person in recovery, showing the world that it is possible to overcome substance abuse and change your life.
Standing together as beacons for recovery, we celebrate September as National Recovery Month to encourage others to embark on their own journey to sobriety and help dispel harmful stigmas and stereotypes.
