SoberRecovery.com Celebrates 5 Years of Helping Alcoholics and Addicts Find Recovery

Just this past August 29th, President George W. Bush officially proclaimed the month of September to be National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month.

That is good news to people like Jon Heller, the founder of http://www.soberrecovery.com/ and advocate of the recent "addiction awareness" nod on the part of government. September also happens to be the same month that SoberRecovery.com -a growing Alcoholism, Addiction and Mental Health Portal- was launched, exactly five years ago on September 25th.

The site now receives almost 10,000 visitors daily who view more than 1 million pages every month. That adds up to a lot of information for addicts and alcoholics looking to start a sober life, or start one over again. Information is one thing SR has in spades. Type in the keywords, “alcohol and addiction recovery” or “alcohol and drug treatment” in Google and you’ll most often find the site at or near the very top. With 2,473 Recovery Resources in 57 unique Categories, SoberRecovery is referenced 171,000 times in Google alone, and has more than 33,000 of its pages indexed by Yahoo. The site's online visibility is only continuing to grow as even more similar sites continue to crop up. (more)
