Designed to write smoothly, this pen offers reliable function while honoring its sustainable origins.

Owning this Recovery pen brings a sense of connection to the past, inspiring confidence and reflection with every jot. The natural textures and weight create a satisfying write, making it a thoughtful companion for daily notes, journaling, or signing important documents.

Order your personalized Recovery pen today to carry a piece of salvage history with you. Limited availability ensures each piece is truly unique—please refer to our shop policies for shipping details and care instructions to keep your pen looking its best. These pens are made from oars salvaged from a ship's lifeboat (oars are shown in the photos). Each one is hand turned, and polished to perfection, and I'm happy to personalize your pen with name and sobriety date. In several places within AA literature and when speaking, our co-founder Bill Wilson said words to the effect of, "To be successful in Alcoholics Anonymous, we must cling to it with the same desperation as a drowning person clinging to a life raft." All of us in recovery have indeed been salvaged and all of us have needed the lifeboat of recovery.

The pens are made using "Gatsby" style hardware, and use Parker style refills, which are easy to find from any place that sells office supplies. Each one ships in the gift box shown in the photos, and with a letter from me certifying the source of the wood. They will make the perfect gift to show support to someone you love in recovery, and will also make great gifts between sponsors and sponsees.

    Additionally, I will make every reasonable effort to inform you when I interact with third parties with your information; however, you are solely responsible for reviewing, understanding, and agreeing to or not agreeing to any third-party privacy policies.

    Information I Collect
    To fulfill your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorized Etsy to provide to me), such as your name, e-mail address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information from time to time if you contact me directly.

    Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It
    I collect, use and share your information in several legally-permissible ways, including:

      - As needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfill your order, to settle disputes, or to provide you with customer support;
      - When you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list or to receive notifications from me;
      - If necessary to comply with a court order or legal obligation, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
      - As necessary for my own legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as
        (a) providing and enhancing my services;
        (b) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use;

    Information Sharing and Disclosure
    Protecting my customers’ personal information is crucially important to my business and something I take very seriously. For these reasons, I share your personal information only for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:
      - With Etsy. I share your information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use;
      - With Third-Party Service Providers. I engage the following trusted third parties to perform functions and provider services to my shop:
    I don't have any third party providers.

    I share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services;
      - In the Event of a Business Transfer. If I sell or merge my business, I may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.
      - In Compliance with Laws. I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good faith belief that doing so is reasonably necessary to:
        (a) respond to legal process or to government requests;
        (b) perform legal obligations to which I am bound by agreements;
        (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or
        (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers, or others.

    How Long I Store Your Information
    I retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with my services and as otherwise described in my Privacy Policy. However, I may also be required to retain this information to comply with my legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce or perform under my agreements. I generally keep your data for the following time period: five (5) years.

    Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU
    I may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, I may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction has. If I am required to transfer information about you outside of the EU, I rely on Privacy Shield as the legal basis for the transfer, as Google Cloud is Privacy Shield certified.

    If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in certain limited cases. Your rights are as follows:

      - Right to Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you by contacting me using the contact information below.
      - Right to Change, Restrict, or Delete. You may also have rights to change, restrict my use of, or delete your personal information. Absent exceptional circumstances (such as where I am required to store information for legal reasons) I will generally delete your personal information upon your request.
      - Right to Object. You can object to (a) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (b) receiving marketing messages from me. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue storing and using your information or if it is needed for legal reasons.
      - Right to Complain. If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about my use of your information (and without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.

    Brad does the most beautiful work! My niece and her boyfriend are in recovery and I have purchased a couple of things from Brad and will continue to keep an eye on his inventory!!


    I got my two hand-carved NA pens today. This is the fourth time I've ordered from Brad and he never ceases to amaze me! Can't wait for Christmas! Thanks, Brad! I will continue to recommend you. ~Cindy


    This pen is so beautiful I’m sure it will mean a lot to my husband who is very proud of his sobriety. I actually indicated the wrong date in the personalization of my order and when I contacted the shop before anything was started I think it was the next day or later the same day They immediately changed it and it came in perfectly


    Unparalleled craftsmanship. Such a great work of art. A reminder of recovery that can be held in your hand every day .
