Our Stories Have Power

Recovery is everywhere, and it is imperative that we speak out about the power of recovery. Each action, each shared story, and each face and voice that joins us, brings us closer to a society where recovery is acknowledged, supported, and celebrated.

Whether you’re a person in recovery, a family member of someone in recovery, or a recovery ally, we invite you to share your story here to demonstrate that recovery works for over 23 million Americans and offer hope to those who are still struggling, as well as their families and communities.

By standing together, by voicing our needs and desires, by putting a face to recovery, we make the process of recovery not just something we experience, but something we live, every day, for everyone.

Let’s advance our journey. We invite you to be part of this extraordinary movement.

How to Give Your Story Power

Similar to an individual’s recovery journey your story is unique and we invite you to share your story through multiple pathways. Whether your story is expressed as a poem, showcasing a painting, or amplifying your voice in a video all stories of recovery are celebrated.

Across the country, people in recovery are celebrating their successes and sharing them with others. However, these successes often go unnoticed by the broader population. Sharing and celebrating recovery stories connects community members with one another and empowers those who are still struggling to know they are not alone. It also helps us to eliminate the stigma and discrimination people in recovery often face and educate the public that recovery is possible.
