There was a time when the only future we could see was jails, institutions, or death.
Today, there’s another option: recovery.
This bold orange recovery shirt features the classic AA / NA saying “Jails • Institutions • Death” on the back and your personalized sobriety date on the front. It’s a powerful reminder of where addiction and alcoholism once led us—and how far we’ve come.
 
Whether you’re celebrating your own clean and sober date or honoring someone you love, this shirt is designed to spark conversations, reduce stigma, and quietly support people living with substance use disorder, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, trauma, or other mental health challenges.
 
Wear it to meetings, conventions, Soberfest, rehab alumni events, therapy, or just on a regular day when you want to remember that recovery is a miracle.
 
How Personalization Works
Add your sobriety date (format: MMDDYYYY or your preferred style) in the personalization box at checkout.
We’ll print your date on the front chest just like the sample photos.
Double-check your date before ordering—your custom item is made just for you.
