Five Steps from Addiction to Recovery

Unity: The Third Recovery Commitment
Joining forces with others leads to success in recovery. We find that there is power in numbers. The more we connect with fellow recovering addicts, trauma survivors, or recovering mentally ill, the more likely positive outcomes will result. So, going to support group meetings, getting contact information from fellow attendees, actually contacting people when necessary, and being there for them, all contributes to recovery. We give and get support. The group succeeds together and love is spread around the room. Soak it up.
Love: The Second Recovery Commitment
Think of it this way: If you entered the recovery process and you had around you people who were emotionally manipulative, angry, crazy-making, and/or abusive, your chances of progressing would be diminished. It is imperative that you place yourself in an environment that is Loving and supportive to your well-being. Caring companions are your biggest advantage at this phase of recovery. Whether professional caregivers or family and friends, those who you are choosing to be with can make all the difference in your recovery.
