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.

It’s not just about using. It’s about learning to love yourself and heal from past trauma. You have to face the storm and fight through it to truly save yourself from addiction. Don’t put a bandaid on your recovery-heal the wounds.

You matter, we all matter!! Life in recovery has given me freedom and hope. Understanding addiction, my own and those of family members and friends has brought forgiveness and acceptance into our lives. I am forever grateful for all the support and love I have been given and for the ability to give it back!!
