Summary:
To kick off Recovery Month, we are highlighting the President's proclamation and providing the opportunity to share your story.
September is National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month and, as the President’s proclamation outlines, serves as an opportunity to recognize how successful recovery from addiction is possible:
“Recovering from addiction to alcohol and other drugs takes strength, faith, and commitment. Men and women in recovery showcase the power each of us holds to transform ourselves, our families, and our communities. As people share their stories and celebrate the transformative power of recovery, they also help dispel myths and stigmas surrounding substance abuse and offer hope for lifestyles free from alcohol and other drugs”
Throughout the month, ONDCP will be highlighting stories of individual success, family support, community strength and the great work going on across the country to supportthose in recovery. To share your story or the story of the ongoing work in your organization, visit the Share Your Story webpage.
