Every September, the leaves begin to change, and the air turns crisp, signaling a time of transition. It’s also a time when we collectively turn our attention to a powerful movement: National Recovery Month. This is a dedicated time to celebrate the millions of Americans living in recovery from substance use and mental health disorders, to educate the public on treatment and recovery services, and to honor the strength and resilience of this community.
At Her 2nd Chance, this mission is at the very heart of what we do. We believe in the transformative power of recovery and the profound importance of supporting one another on this path. Recovery isn't a solitary journey; it's built on a foundation of community, compassion, and connection.
Why Your Support Matters More Than You Know
The journey of recovery is filled with incredible highs and challenging lows. For someone navigating this path, knowing they have a supportive community can make all the difference. A simple act of kindness, a word of encouragement, or a tangible token of belief can be a beacon of hope on a difficult day.
This National Recovery Month, we encourage you to reach out. Let the people in your life who are on this journey know that you see their strength, you honor their commitment, and you are cheering for them every step of the way.
Meaningful Ways to Show You Care
Sometimes, finding the right words can be challenging. How do you adequately express your pride and support? We’ve created beautiful, intentional products designed to carry your message of hope and solidarity.

It’s ideal for a recovery anniversary, a birthday, or just because. Tuck it into a care package, mail it as a surprise, or hand it to them over coffee. It’s a simple yet profound way to say, "I'm here for you, and I believe in you."
2. Celebrate Their Sassy Strength with Humor & Heart
Recovery is hard work, and sometimes, a little humor and blunt encouragement are the best medicines. For the person in your life who appreciates real talk and a good laugh, our Keep That Sh*t Up Sobriety Journey Card is a fan favorite.

Honoring Your Own Journey
If you are the one on the recovery path, National Recovery Month is also for you. This is your time to pause and reflect on how far you’ve come. Celebrate your victories, both big and small. Consider buying one of these cards for yourself—as a promise, a reward, or a reminder of your own incredible strength. You deserve to celebrate you.
