September is the federal government’s official “Recovery Month,”sponsored by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) of the Department of Human and Health Services.
Many local recovery organizations in San Jose and the Bay Area are hosting events to bring awareness of resources available to people seeking recovery.
“Friends of Recovery”, for example, are hosting a Recovery Fest ‘09 picnic with live music at Vasona Park in Los Gatos on the 19th.

People in recovery have a wonderful quality — they love to celebrate their new path and share the recovery experience with those still suffering from addiction.
“Be there or be square.”
