What Is

The GLOBE

Imagine that moments after our global countdown counter reaches 12:00 am on September 30th you see on our website’s map a small flash of light coming out of Sydney, Australia from where the very first Recovery Firework is launched. The firework rises up into the atmosphere and explodes in a glorious burst of colorful magnificence. Simultaneously as this virtual firework launches, the outline of Australia lights up in purple (symbolic of our recovery movement). A moment or two later you see another Recovery Firework launched and another…

Within a short time, dozens, then hundreds, and thousands of Recovery Fireworks are fired into the atmosphere and their colorful bursts illuminate the sky, creating a patchwork of interconnectedness around the world as more and more outlines of countries light up in purple.

The greater the number of Recovery Fireworks are launched the more purple our map becomes …

International Recovery Day is a free online event to be globally launched on September 30th.

“Recovery is not just about overcoming struggles — it is about rediscovering life, love, and purpose. On this Recovery Day, I stand with everyone walking their journey back from pain, addiction, mental health challenges, or loss. Recovery reminds us that healing is possible. It is proof that even in the darkest seasons, light can return. To those still fighting – you are not alone. To those in recovery – keep moving forward, one step at a time. To families, friends, and communities – let’s support, listen, and create safe spaces where healing is celebrated, not hidden. This September, let us choose compassion over stigma, and hope over despair. Recovery is real. Recovery is possible. Recovery is worth it. 💚 One world, one community, one journey of healing.” — PFP TV / Peter Ouma
