What is the Challenge?
Do Not Drink Alcohol, Use Illegal Drugs or Abuse Legal Drugs for One Year
Who is it for?
The 1 Year Challenge is an awareness campaign geared towards those who are or have ever been affected by a loved one or friend's substance abuse, those seeking recovery and those already on their recovery journey.
The rational behind the challenge is to show your loved one or friend who is suffering from a substance abuse addiction, just how much you care for their well-being and how awe-inspiring life can be without substance use!
It is to show your concern, support and help to spread awareness.
It's letting others know that you don't need to alter your mind; to relax, to have fun, to calm down, to dance or to just "be"
It is being a good role model for generations to come.
It is letting your friends and family know that you are there for them and are trying to understand their addiction.
