No luck involved. This is a success directly attributable to the international agreement to phase out CFCs.

Nice to see the atmosphere actually respond to positive human action..

http://www.epa.gov/ozone/science/sc_fact.html

Because of measures taken under the Protocol, emissions of ozone-depleting substances are already falling. Based on measurements of total inorganic chlorine in the atmosphere, which stopped increasing in 1997 and 1998, stratospheric chlorine levels have peaked and are no longer increasing. The good news is that the natural ozone production process will heal the ozone layer in about 50 years.
