"Recovery is a process...

Recovery is about learning to love and value yourself enough to stop destroying yourself.

It’s about forgiving yourself and others.

It’s about letting go of SHAME and learning to accept your true self.

Dream lofty dreams and as you dream so you shall become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be; Your ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil. James Lane Allen.

Recovery is about letting go of the lofty expectations of perfection that you have placed upon yourself and others.

It’s learning to love and accept yourself and others unconditionally.

It is about learning to use your anger as the fuel to create something good, rather than denying it or holding it inside until you self-destruct or strike out at another.

It is about learning that you have a choice; you can choose to be hopeful rather than hopeless; you can choose to act from faith rather than react from fear; and you can choose to enjoy life rather than merely survive it.
