Five Steps from Addiction to Recovery
FROM THE BLOG
Growth: Recovery Value Four
This level of recovery challenges us to become better. We want to be better at being who we are, how we function in the world, how we perform in our relationships and various life roles. There is an opportunity to improve every aspect of our lives. By being engaged in the process of recovery, we are doing self-examination daily. We have an awareness of where we need work on ourselves. Doing this work brings great benefit. We progress. We recover. We become the self we were meant to be. Our true self emerges. Better and best.
Unity: Recovery Value Three
Thank Goodness for the 12 Step programs and other support groups available to aid in the recovery process. It is hard to imagine a world without them. Any addict, trauma survivor, or mentally ill person would simply be without one of the greatest resources for healing. The idea of being singularly left on our own to figure out the way to wellness is unfathomable at this point. The true spiritual community, with its loving presence and consistency, provides just what is needed to bring us to the next phase of personal development. The result is more self-confidence and the ability and willingness to help others. This is a method to overcome these serious afflictions.
