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.

    I will be forever grateful to my family and friends who never gave up on me – who supported and loved me through a destructive gambling addiction to slot machines – until I was able to find the strength to save myself – and finally get out alive on the other side. Without them [and Gamblers’ Help in Australia] I would have gambled my way to suicide – nothing surer! I had lost everything I had ever worked for – apart from the people in my life. They taught me how to love myself again and to be proud of recovering – so now I do all I can to help others. Addiction is a disease – but it does not need to be a death sentence. We can recover but we cannot do it alone. Reach out and find the hands that will hold you -until you become strong enough to recover and hold yourself. They helping hands are out there and all around you – so look and find them before it all becomes too late.
