What is this? The Recovery Buddies Project is a team of people from around the world who hand knits "recovery buddies" to help people through a variety of addictions and mental illnesses including eating disorders, self-injury as well as others. We strive to remind people that they are not alone in their addictions, and that they don't have to be alone in their recovery.

I was down and in despair. I felt so alone and didn't think anyone was with me in this fight of my eating disorder and mental illness. Then out of nowhere and from I don't know who I recieved a recovery buddy. It was obviously from someone who really cared about me and loved me. I was so happy to have recieved this amazing gift of love and friendship. It is wonderful to know that I am not alone on this journey.
