NEW DAY PROCLAMATION | NATIONAL SOBER DAY – September 14

NATIONAL SOBER DAY

National Sober Day on September 14th encourages us to celebrate Sober life and bring awareness to addiction. The entire day focuses on showing support for anyone living in sobriety. Not only that, but the observance sets a standard for the whole world that being sober is okay. Show your friends and family on the road to recovery by spending the day sober as well.

Ideally scheduled during National Recovery Month, the day supports removing the stigma associated with addiction. It opens the lines of communication that lead to better understanding. The day provides an opportunity to build educated support networks. It also strengthens existing ones. When systems are paved with an aware, loving, and honest cheering section, success is more likely. If we stumble, aren’t we more likely to get back up again when we have a solid support system?

Encouragement of one day fuels more support and awareness, leading to long-term sobriety. That’s something worth celebrating! The opposite of addiction is a connection. This holiday will provide a model for future generations as well. By demonstrating how to enjoy life alcohol-free, the day will embolden future generations to say no to alcohol.

HOW TO OBSERVE #NationalSoberDay

Spend the day sober. While that may seem simple enough, it may come as a challenge to some. Start by finding recipes for delicious mocktails. Be sure to plan activities that don’t feel like they require alcohol to have fun. Enjoy the day! By all means, do things you and your friends enjoy doing. Just remove alcohol from the equation. Call, text, email a friend or family member in recovery. Let them know you support their sobriety. Share with them how you are going to spend this day alcohol-free.

Sober FAQ

Q. What other sober activities can I do?
A. Choose activities that make it difficult to drink alcohol. For example, play or learn to play an instrument. Some other ideas include:
- Visit a museum.
- Join a recreation league.
- Invite friends to cook a big meal or make freezer meals.
- Go to the library and read those books you’ve wanted to read.
- Host a tea, coffee, or mocktail tasting party.
- Learn a new craft and invite others to join you.
- Travel. A day trip or one across the country – either one will do!
- Join a band.
- Host a book group.
- Go hiking.
- Volunteer.
- Take your children or your nieces, nephews, or cousins to the park.
You can do all these activities with others. Some of them are even better when others are involved. So call a friend and pick something new to do.

Q. Are there other sober-related days on the calendar?
A. Yes. National Mocktail Week and National Online Recovery Day are two days on the calendar designed to support recovery and sober living.

NATIONAL COCKTAIL DAY – March 24
NATIONAL COCKTAIL DAY

Celebrate all your favorite cocktails on March 24th. National Cocktail Day ushers in all the best ways to savor a beverage at the end of a long workday. Whether you like a fruity drink, blended or on the rocks, this day is for you. Mocktail, virgin, or the real thing, celebrate the lemon, lime, bitters, liquors, and liqueurs that make your favorite beverages the best in your bartender book.

#NationalCocktailDay

It’s probably no surprise that nearly every month on the calendar celebrates a cocktail. The only exception is April, and since it’s National Alcohol Awareness Month, it makes sense to take that month off.

A cocktail contains a spirit or a mix of spirits. While a beer is not considered a cocktail, there are beer cocktails where beer is added to a distilled ingredient. The same applies to wine.

The other months pay homage to histories, ingredients, and the makers of some legendary cocktails. January begins the year dedicating a day to the Bloody Mary, and there’s also a day for her Canadian counterpart, the Bloody Caesar, in May. January also devotes an entire week to Mocktails. In February, you can celebrate the Margarita and Kahlua. March brings us International Whisk(e)y Day, among others. Skipping back to May, you can imbibe in both Palomas and Mimosas for your celebrations.

June & July

June and July compete for the most cocktail-related days. From Martinis and Bourbon in June to Pina Coladas and Daiquiris in July, the two months cover the spectrum. There are even a few bottles of wine in between. Not only do they celebrate specific cocktails but they also celebrate the places we enjoy them. National Dive Bar Day in July invites us to celebrate the places that serve our favorite cocktails, even if it’s an ice-cold beer.

The rest of the year covers all our chilled and heated cocktails. By December, we readily reminisce National Repeal Day and the Bartenders who keep that era and the skills alive.

We have only skimmed the surface of the cocktails celebrated on the calendar, so National Cocktail Day allows you to celebrate whichever one you like!

HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL COCKTAIL DAY
- Create your favorite cocktail to celebrate.
- Explore cocktail ingredients or read a bartender’s manual.
- Learn the finer elements of mixing cocktails and expand your home bar.
- Visit a speakeasy or take a tour of your favorite distillery.
- Host a cocktail tasting session. Create a classic menu with a professional bartender who provides history and describes the nuances behind the ingredients.
- Attend a cocktail tasting party. You will learn more about how and why ingredients are combined the way they are.
- Visit your local bookstore and pick up a cocktail or bar book. Follow the recipes and read about the histories these bartenders share. We recommend The Essential Bar Book by Jennifer Fielder, The Art and Science of The Perfect Cocktail by Janice Dreese, and Craft Cocktails at Home: Offbeat Techniques, Contemporary Crowd-Pleasers, and Classics Hacked with Science by Kevin Liu.
- Visit your local bar and pick your bartender’s brain. Some like to share their techniques. Ask them what their favorite cocktail is. And, be sure to tip them well for their advice and service.
- Try making a mocktail. Especially on those weeknights when work is busy, and you need to keep up. Many of them infuse nutrients many of us are lacking. Keep these recipes on hand for your friends who are designated drivers, sober for life, supporting a friend, or for any reason.
- As always, ANY TIME we are indulging in spirits and alcohol, DON’T drink and drive. Designate a sober driver. Call a taxi, Uber, Lyft, or friend.
- When you celebrate, share your favorites by using #NationalCocktailDay on social media.
NATIONAL COCKTAIL DAY HISTORY

Jace Shoemaker Galloway founded National Cocktail Day in 2013

Cocktail FAQ

Q. What is the most popular spirit used in cocktails?
A. Vodka is most commonly used as a base spirit for cocktails. It’s a versatile alcohol, and makers infuse it with many different flavors adding to its appeal. It also pairs well with simple or complex ingredients.

Q. What kinds of tools do I need to make great cocktails?
A. The ingredients are the most important tool in your bar collection. However, some of the most essential tools for making cocktails include a shaker, strainer, corkscrew, and muddler. Other tools that make your mixing easier include ice tongs, spoons, pourers, and straws.

NEW DAY PROCLAMATION | NATIONAL ONLINE RECOVERY DAY – September 22
NATIONAL ONLINE RECOVERY DAY

Every year, at least 17 million Americans who need help with a substance abuse problem don’t get it. Why? Largely because of the shame and stigma associated with substance use disorders (SUDs) and the perception that treatment is inaccessible. On September 22nd, National Online Recovery Day reminds us that quality substance abuse treatment and recovery support is available entirely online – offering the highest level of privacy and accessibility, in order to reach the millions of people who really need it.

Today’s telehealth technology offers the ability to treat all sorts of ailments. Mental health issues, including SUDs, can also be effectively treated and managed online. Not only is it convenient and usually covered by insurance, but private sessions via telemedicine ease the burden of the stigma while offering quality therapy and treatment options.

The medical community continues to prove that telemedicine provides quality care. The benefits of the service are mounting beyond privacy and convenience, too. Telemedicine also:
- Reduces costs to patient and provider
- Creates access for rural communities
- Promotes better patient engagement
- Increases the reliability of access, including support groups
When patients have more options and dependable care, they are more likely to keep appointments and continue treatment. Today’s world is significantly altering our access to medicine and therapy. Through online treatment and life-long digital support communities, the possibility of successful and sustained recovery for 17 million people becomes a reality.

HOW TO OBSERVE #NationalOnlineRecoveryDay

Explore online therapy, digital support groups and virtual communities as your next step in treatment. September 22nd also offers an ideal opportunity to share your experience with online recovery. While you’re sharing, be sure to include online resources like Lionrock.

#NationalOnlineRecoveryDay reminds us that there are options for getting treatment and continuing your sobriety journey, no matter what the obstacles are. Join the conversation by using #NationalOnlineRecoveryDay on social media.

NATIONAL ONLINE RECOVERY DAY HISTORY

Lionrock founded National Online Recovery Day in 2020 to raise awareness of this beneficial approach to living a life in recovery. Lionrock uses technology to stay connected to its clients and makes it easier and more private to not only get sober, but maintain sobriety through a robust online support system called Lionrock.life. Their fully online services are successful, too. A recent study reported 80% of Lionrock’s clients remained abstinent at 18 months after discharge from treatment; that’s twice the national average.

Online recovery has been and continues to be the most private and successful way to get help with substance abuse. In fact, half of Lionrock clients say that they would not get help in a traditional setting if there were no online options.

On July 15, 2020, the Registrar at National Day Calendar proclaimed National Online Recovery Day to be observed on September 22nd, annually.

There are over 1,500 national days. Don’t miss a single one. Celebrate Every Day® with National Day Calendar®!

Giving to those in need helps to alleviate the worst effect of humanitarian crises. The basic necessities of food, clothing, and shelter are provided when others give. These donations also spread a message of humanity to the underprivileged and those surrounded by conflict.

Today, nearly half of the earth’s population lives in poverty. That’s 3 billion people living on less than $2.50 a day. One billion children around the world live in poverty. About 22,000 of these children die each day. Hunger is one of the leading causes of death among the poor. Millions of people throughout the world don’t have access to clean drinking water. Two million children die each year from preventable diseases. Twenty-five percent of all human beings don’t have electricity.

These sobering statistics point to the fact that there are an endless number of needs in our world. While you can’t possibly help everyone, you can do your part by helping someone. The International Day of Charity is a great time to do just that. As the saying goes, “it’s better to give than to receive.”

HOW TO OBSERVE #InternationalDayofCharity

There are many ways for you to celebrate the International Day of Charity. One of which is researching different charities. There are thousands of them out there, and by researching, you might find an under-supported one you can promote. You could volunteer at a homeless shelter, soup kitchen, or another place in your community that serves the underprivileged. Give to a food pantry or run a food bank outside your local grocery store.

If you want to give a monetary donation, peruse crowdfunding platforms, and find a need to fill. There are also many nonprofit organizations, such as Compassion International, where you can sponsor a child living in poverty.

Other people or organizations that always need volunteers include churches, animal shelters, and senior centers.

Chances are, you won’t have to go too far to help someone in need. That person in need might be your next-door neighbor or the homeless person at that intersection you always drive by. Whoever they are, today is a great day to give.

No matter how you choose to make a charitable contribution, be sure to share this day on social media with #InternationalDayOfCharity.

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF CHARITY HISTORY

Mother Teresa of Calcutta is one of the most well-known humanitarians in modern history. It’s due to her selfless devotion to serving the poor that September 5th was chosen as International Day of Charity. It was on this day in 1997 that Mother Teresa passed away at the age of 87.

In 2011, the Hungarian Parliament chose to commemorate the anniversary of her death by making it a national holiday for their country. In 2012, the UN General Assembly resolved to make the Hungarian holiday an International one.

RIDE SOBER OR GET PULLED OVER – Two Weeks Before and Through Labor Day
RIDE SOBER OR GET PULLED OVER

Ride Sober or Get Pulled Over during the two weeks leading up to Labor Day targets motorcyclists who ride when they have been drinking.

The campaign focus on the end of riding season for much of the US. As motorcyclists head into the extended Labor Day weekend, the campaign aims to decrease drunk riding. The long, warm days of summer begin to fade, and riding season winds down. For some, it’s their last long, summer ride. For too many who choose to ride while drinking, it will be their last ride forever.

The bottle and the throttle don’t mix.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says 25% of motorcycle riders killed in crashes are drunk. A rider is considered intoxicated when their blood alcohol limit reaches or exceeds .08.

However, NHTSA says many alcohol-related motorcycle crashes are caused by riders who are slightly under the .08 limit. Though they’ve had less than the legal limit, it’s still enough to let booze to overwhelm their usual safety cautiousness. Hence, they end up pushing themselves and their machines past safe limits.

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, this is all it takes to affect riders:
- .02 – It becomes difficult to perform two tasks at the same time.
- .05 – Tracking moving objects becomes difficult and response time to emergency situations is reduced.
- .08 – Riders lose concentration and perception of road conditions.
- .10 – Braking appropriately becomes difficult.
HOW TO OBSERVE RIDE SOBER OR GET PULLED OVER

Before drinking, plan a sober ride home. If you see a drunk rider on the road, call law enforcement immediately. When you are hosting a group ride, make sure food and non-alcoholic drinks are served. Provide drinking riders with safe rides home. Assure them their motorcycles will be secure, and they will get a return ride to their bike when they are sober.

RIDE SOBER OR GET PULLED OVER HISTORY

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration sponsors Ride Sober or Get Pulled Over annually. The program singularly targets motorcyclists and is part of a regularly occurring crackdown on drunk driving organized. Other Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaigns targeting four-wheel vehicle drivers are:
- Feb 3, Super Bowl.
- Mar 17 St. Patrick’s Day.
- May 5 Cinco de Mayo.
- July 4 Independence Day.
- Aug 14-Sept 2 End of Summer/Labor Day week.
- Oct 1 Halloween.

NEW DAY PROCLAMATION | WORLD PALOMA DAY – May 22

WORLD PALOMA DAY

On May 22, World Paloma Day recognizes the national drink of Mexico. This refreshing cocktail made with tequila and grapefruit soda is definitely worth celebrating!

The growing reputation of the Paloma in the United States may be related to its sparkling personality. The vibrant flavor and bright citrus notes combined with a light, energetic flare makes the Paloma a celebration drink.

However, where and when the Paloma began is a bit of mystery. In 1938, the first grapefruit soda came on the scene in the United States. From there, the soda made its way to Mexico in 1955. Whoever first mixed tequila, lime and grapefruit soda brought together an undeniably beautiful and delightful beverage.

The Paloma’s shimmering character is just one reason it is the most popular cocktail in Mexico. Easily mixed in large batches to serve in a pitcher for company, the Paloma complements a summer cookout, as well as a more formal affair.

HOW TO OBSERVE

Order a Paloma tonight, mix one up yourself or make a pitcher to share with friends. To enjoy at home, try this recipe:

2 oz Cenote Blanco Tequila
1⁄2 oz Fresh lime juice
Grapefruit soda, to top

Garnish – lime wedge or grapefruit wedge
Add tequila and lime juice to a highball glass filled with ice.
Fill with grapefruit soda, and stir briefly.

Use #WorldPalomaDay to share on social media.

Always drink responsibly and don’t drink and drive. Designate a sober driver.
