For those of you who work with people in recovery, I thought you might find
this announcment of interest and relevance to your work. Plus, I think it is
also worth passing on the theme of next year's celebration as it examines
and advocates for the recognition of addiction recovery as a public health
concern by focusing on its benefits.
Thanks,
