National Recovery Month 2009
September has been set aside as a month to celebrate the victories of those who have beaten drug abuse and alcoholism. It is also a time to sing the praises of those dedicated professionals who spend every day helping people beat their addictions. There have been events planned in every state in the US. There are dinners, concerts, walks, social gatherings and many more events and activities planned.
For the third time, the drug rehab center Narconon Trois-Rivières will broadcast their graduation via the Internet. TODAY, September 25th at 4:20 EDT on the Internet at http://narconon.ca/live_graduation.htm. While September is designated National Recovery Month, seeking help, getting help and celebrating sobriety can happen any time of the year. It is always a joyful time when someone leaves behind a life of addiction and starts a fresh, happy life drug and alcohol free. There are always counselors on hand if anyone ever has any concerns about drug addictions or alcoholism.
Throughout the country, recovering drug addicts and alcoholics can help each other celebrate their victories. It is also a good time to give recognition to the staff of the treatment center that helped you beat the habit. Recovery is no small feat and those who have accomplished it deserve the recognition.

Drug addiction and alcoholism tear apart lives and families. That is why, in September, we celebrate those who have made that effort to put everything back together. Addiction and recovery are community issues. Together they suffer from the effects of addiction and together they can celebrate those who rejoin life drug and alcohol free. It is also a good time to thank, or otherwise recognize those drug counselors, doctors, techs and other staff members who make it their life’s work to help people beat their addictions.
Check on the events in your area and remember to start planning something for next year’s celebration. Whether you go through drug addiction rehab in January, May or October, September is just the month chosen to give special recognition. If you have turned your life around and left addiction behind; Bravo! If you are still struggling with the decision to go to rehab; You do have what it takes and you can make it! Everyone can be a winner by simply making the right choice.
