If you or someone you know has been touched by addiction, please contribute to our mission this #GivingTuesday to help us make a difference.

My Recovery Day provides help and hope to individuals in recovery while helping to reduce the stigma assoicated with addiction through its outreach event at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame called "My Recovery Day Jam 2023 - Recovery is Possible and It Rocks". This year on November 11, My Recovery Day reached over 42,000 individuals in 1,400 treatment centers and sober living facilities across all 50 states and even in 10 countries with messages of hope and music. Artists Marc Lee Shannon, Cory B. Smith and The Williams Project and Chas Smith aka Colicchie all did an amazing job. Paoulo del Vecchio, Director of the Office of Recovery for SAMHSA, along with Simon Kirke from Bad Co. and Free also shared a message of hope and encouragement. Listen to Colicchie as he shares his message on stage at the Rock Hall.

A Crisis That Touches Everyone - You Are Not Alone
Substance Use Disorder (SUD) is the foremost public health crisis in the United States, affecting an estimated 46.3 million Americans aged 12 and older. It transcends racial, ethnic, geographic, economic, religious, and educational boundaries, impacting people indiscriminately.

For every person with SUD, approximately 5 to 6 family members are significantly affected by the consequences, meaning there could be around 246 million individuals whose lives are impacted.

A 2019 Gallup Poll found that 46% of U.S. adults have grappled with SUD in their families, leading to divorce, child abuse, higher healthcare costs, increased crime rates, and hundreds of thousands of premature deaths annually. The economic loss due to SUD in the U.S. is estimated to exceed $850 billion annually.

My Recovery Day Beginnings
My Recovery Day officially began in 2016 as a Northeast Ohio 501c3 nonprofit whose mission is to develop and provide support and resources for individuals with substance use disorder - giving them the help and hope they need for sustainable recovery. As an organization whose board, staff, and volunteers are either in recovery or have a deep understanding of recovery, we get that it is more than just stopping the drinking and/or drug use. Today, My Recovery Day's programs touch lives locally and nationally.

My Recovery Day Programs
Our programs speak to several of the key determinants of what are commonly referred to as “social determinants of health”. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, social determinants of health are the conditions in the environments where people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age that affect a wide range of health, functioning, and quality-of-life outcomes and risks.

The Recovery Bank
Provides a free resource for individuals to get smaller appliances, kitchenware, general household, bathroom items and more. It is available to individuals that have gone through treatment or sober living housing and need some basics to start again.

The “J.O.B.S.” (Just Online Being Sober) Program is a peer supported economic empowerment program that provides technology training focused on generating income online in a safe and sober environment.

The "My Family Recovers" Education and Group Peer Support Program
An innovative Education and Family Peer Support Program seeking to equip families with the tools, resources, and peer support necessary to better understand addiction, cope with its impact, and create a nurturing environment that supports their loved ones’ recovery journey.
The 4Today Mobile App
The free “4Today” mobile app provides recovery resources at your fingertips to keep you on the right path to recovery one day at a time. From the home screen there is a recovery counter, user uploaded photos to remind you of why your recovery is important and icons to give you access to a meeting finder, progress reports and other recovery resources.

The My Recovery Day Jam Outreach Benefit
