The journey to sobriety is not easy. It is one of the most difficult emotional journeys that a recovering has to undergo. While there might be friends and family to help them in the process, they often tend to shy away from social interactions for fear of stigma. This makes their road to recovery even more difficult, and it could make their journey back to the mainstream seem more rigorous than ever.
Gifting AA medallions and others similar to them is an expression of your love and care. It can have a remarkable positive impact on the life of a recovering addict. Here is a brief guide to what kind of perfect gifts you can buy for their 5th sobriety anniversary.
Medallions
NA medallions are perfect for those who are trying to recover from drug addiction and substance abuse. These medallions are not just tokens of your love- they are markers of the journey. The five-year milestone is special for everyone. Staying clean for five years is a great achievement, and you can commemorate it with a medallion with an inspiring message inscribed on the back.
Money Clip
The money clip is not just a beautiful token. It is a highly practical one as well. When you gift a money clip, you can have it personalized with your name and an inspiring quote to mark the fifth anniversary. The money clip will remind the recipient to continue on their journey and reach the next milestone.
Key Chain
Key chains are fun and highly practical and also make for wonderful fifth-anniversary gifts for sobriety. These keychains are embossed with quotes and messages and often have something to remind you to stay clean. They are available in a variety of styles and metal finishes.
Mugs
Who doesn't love a coffee mug? And coffee is a far better alternative to alcohol or drugs. You can gift a wonderful coffee mug to the recipient who will not just love the gift for what it is but the thought that goes beside it. The coffee mugs are available in a wide range of colours, and ceramic is the most popular choice.
Dreamcatchers
Dreamcatchers are wonderful tokens and often have a sign similar to the NA medallions embossed on them. Leaving behind the dark days of addiction is very similar to waking up from a nightmare and starting the day afresh. The gift can help you create a wonderful analogy and hence is a perfect five-year sobriety gift.
Candles and Aromas
It is no secret that stress and anxiety are among the principal reasons behind addiction and substance abuse. What can be a better way to calm the senses than a luxurious range of aromas and candles? They make for a very thoughtful five-year sobriety gift for your loved one. You can choose from a wide range of aromas and fragrances, and the anniversary will be the perfect occasion to do so.
AA medallions can have a great impact on the person you are gifting them to. It will act as their anchor when they are at their lowest and might be tempted in the most difficult ways. With your support, a recovering addict will always have what it takes to keep them fighting.
