🍷 April is Alcohol Awareness Month

What does progress actually look like when it comes to alcohol?
It’s not always “quit or nothing.”
For many people, change happens in stages—cutting back, shifting patterns, or working toward abstinence over time.
📊 Research shows these pathways are far more complex than traditional definitions of recovery suggest.
New recovery metrics are helping capture that reality—recognizing meaningful progress, even when it’s gradual or non-linear.
Because when we measure progress better, we can support people better.

đź“„ New publication spotlight

How should recovery be measured when someone is working to quit more than one substance?

A new study introduces “proportion of remission,” a metric designed to better capture progress in polysubstance use. Rather than defining recovery as all-or-nothing abstinence, this approach quantifies partial progress—recognizing reductions or cessation of individual substances over time.

Using data from more than 2,400 individuals in recovery, researchers found that this measure reflects meaningful change that traditional definitions often overlook. By acknowledging incremental progress, proportion of remission may offer a more accurate and motivating way to understand recovery trajectories.

This shift has implications for both research and care—how outcomes are measured shapes how success is defined, communicated, and supported.

🔬Recovery doesn’t happen in a vacuum—it’s shaped by access, environment, and opportunity.

This *National Minority Health Month*, we recognize that structural barriers and inequities continue to influence who gets support, who stays in recovery, and how progress is measured.

By participating in the International Quit and Recovery Registry, individuals help researchers better understand these differences—and move toward more equitable, effective approaches to recovery.

Your experience can help make recovery research more inclusive.

"What if your experience could help change how recovery is understood? 🤔

Every recovery journey looks different—and that’s exactly why it matters. 💬 By joining the International Quit and Recovery Registry, you’re helping researchers learn what actually supports people in quitting and staying in recovery.

Your story isn’t just yours—it can help shape better treatments, better support systems, and better outcomes for others walking a similar path. 🌍

It only takes a few minutes to make a lasting impact. ⏱️

Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month reminds us that health, behavior, and recovery are not one-size-fits-all đź§ 

People with developmental disabilities are often underrepresented in research—yet their experiences are essential to understanding how support systems, treatments, and recovery pathways actually work in the real world 📊

At the International Quit and Recovery Registry (IQRR), every voice helps build a more accurate picture of recovery across diverse populations 🌍

Better data leads to better care. And better care starts with inclusion 🤝

đź§  March is Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex neurological condition that often presents in ways that aren’t immediately visible. Symptoms can affect cognition, mood, fatigue, and physical functioning—shaping how individuals experience daily life and long-term health.

This year’s theme, MS Unseen, highlights an important reality: many of the most impactful aspects of MS happen beneath the surface.

Research continues to show that chronic conditions like MS intersect with behavior, environment, and health decision-making over time.

At the International Quit and Recovery Registry (IQRR), we’re working to better understand how people navigate change in the context of complex, real-world health challenges—where progress may be gradual, non-linear, and deeply individual.

Awareness means recognizing what isn’t always visible.

đź§  March is Brain Injury Awareness Month

Brain injury is often treated as a single event—but research shows its effects are long-term, complex, and deeply connected to behavior, health, and recovery trajectories.

People living with traumatic brain injury (TBI) may face changes in cognition, emotion, and decision-making that shape how they engage with substance use and recovery over time.

Yet, traditional recovery metrics rarely account for these realities.

At the International Quit and Recovery Registry (IQRR), we’re working to better understand how recovery unfolds in the real world—especially for individuals with co-occurring conditions like TBI.

Because progress isn’t one-size-fits-all—and it shouldn’t be measured that way.

As communities around the world celebrate Eid al-Fitr, we recognize this moment as one of reflection, renewal, and connection.

For many, this season marks not only the end of Ramadan, but a continuation of personal growth—small, meaningful changes that build over time.

At the International Quit and Recovery Registry, we know that progress often happens in these moments: through persistence, reflection, and support from others.

Wishing peace, joy, and continued progress to all who celebrate.

🎗️ March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month

Colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable cancers—yet it remains a leading cause of cancer-related death. Screening can detect precancerous changes early, and when identified at an early stage, survival rates are significantly higher.

Behavior plays a critical role in risk and prevention.

Research shows that to***co use, alcohol consumption, diet, and physical activity all influence colorectal cancer risk. These are not isolated factors—they are part of broader, real-world patterns of behavior change.

That’s where measurement matters.

At the International Quit and Recovery Registry (IQRR), we study how people make meaningful changes over time—reducing or quitting harmful substances, improving health behaviors, and progressing in ways that traditional “all-or-nothing” definitions often miss.

Prevention isn’t just about awareness—it’s about understanding how change actually happens.
