September is Recovery Month and a time to celebrate the recovery community and the service providers working within the community. This national observance is a way to increase awareness surrounding mental health and addiction recovery.
Recovery is versatile in the way it looks and there are many ways to celebrate both personal recovery and recovery month. Need ideas on how to celebrate recovery? Try sharing your achievement and effort in your recovery with people in your life. Have a meal with those who have supported you on your recovery journey. Host a sober party or treat yourself by buying something special or doing something (maybe a weekend getaway) to celebrate your success. Wear purple to show your support for recovery month, attend a memorial walk raising funds for recovery resources, or simply share positive messages about prevention, treatment, and recovery.
The Collegiate Recovery Community at Indiana University is hosting several events on campus to celebrate Recovery Month. Join us in raising awareness and celebrating the progress made by each individual and the recovery community at large.
