Book her a spa day
In my experience as a beauty and wellness writer, there are few ailments a spa day can’t fix. My suggestion? Make her a facial or massage appointment at The Well in NYC. I go there myself whenever I can because they offer mental health services as well as substance use support.
I F*cking Got This Curse Word Motivational Quote Sobriety Coloring Book
I used to think of coloring as solely an activity to keep children busy. However, study after study has shown that coloring is a good stress reliever. According to Mayo Clinic, the activity “calms the brain and helps your body relax.” Considering this matches that serenity with motivational sobriety quotes, you really can’t go wrong with this pick.

Haoze One Day at a Time Sobriety Bracelet
When I’m all over the place and borderline unable to keep my sobriety in check, I always repeat to myself: one day at a time. Getting gifted a gorgeous beaded bracelet that reminds me of that? That would surely bring a smile to my face. The bracelet is available in two stones, amethyst and tiger eye, and comes with either the Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous symbol.

Make a booklet of inspirational sobriety quotes
If you’re on a budget, maybe one of the best sobriety gifts for her is something you make. This sounded cheesy AF to me at first, but then I realized that some of these quotes come from people who have been sober for almost 20 years. And who better to dole out advice about staying sober? I rounded up some inspirational recovery quotes to help you get started.
