Hope for New Hampshire Recovery is a community-based substance abuse recovery
organization. In late 2014 or early 2015, the organization introduced a flag and
presented it to the Governor of New Hampshire at a ceremony. According to the
article online at
http://www.new-futures.org/blog/state-new-hampshire-recovery, "Serving as a
'Betsy Ross' to the recovery movement, the group revealed an official flag,
hoping that everyone affected - directly or indirectly - by addiction can
identify with it as a symbol of optimism. 'It is our hope that this flag will
act as a symbol to communicate individual and organizational support for
recovery from alcoholism and drug addiction,' [HOPE Board member Marty] Boldin
explained."
The flag presented to the Governor and photographed in the
article is a vertical tribar of lavender-spring green-lavender. Along the upper
border between the two bars closest to the hoist is a butterfly with white body
and countercharged wings.
