Publisher’s Note – by Barbara Nicholson Brown
Each September, National Recovery Month is sponsored by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) in an effort to “increase awareness and understanding of mental and substance use disorders and celebrate the people who recover.” While the calendar gives us 30 days for recovery month, it is one day at a time, every day of the year.
