September is National Recovery Month and each year MOAR-Recovery organizes a big celebration in Massachusetts. They're asking for feedback about whether to hold the event in-person or virtual, and other logistics. How should we celebrate this year? ow.ly/FaRL50Fz8qE

It’s a grim reality that everyone knows someone — or is that someone — impacted by substance use disorders. On #InternationalOverdoseAwarenessDay we grieve those we have lost and recommit as a community to tackling this epidemic and ending the stigma.

“Gavin’s mission at the Devine Recovery Center is the ‘Restoration of Dignity.' Addiction equals isolation, and connection equals recovery. We believe people helping people, one day at a time, creates the connections that support the recovery process.” gavinfoundation.org

Tomorrow is Recovery Day, when people across the state celebrate recovery and discuss issues important to reducing substance use disorder. The event will happen in Boston City Hall Plaza from 9:45am to 12:30pm and be livestreamed by MOAR-Recovery: facebook.com/MOARRecovery

Yesterday was Recovery Day 2021. Speakers celebrated recovery and also highlighted areas where further attention is needed, including equity, stigma, and multiple pathways to recovery. Kim Janey and Marty Martinez were among the speakers. Photos by Rose Martin.

Teen was asked: “What’s the #1 reason why you use drugs?” Teen responds with, “It’s easier to get drugs than an appointment with a therapist.” We are failing. Period.
