Recovery

Hi Everyone

Here is a passage from Patricia Deegan Conspiracy of Hope

Recovery does not refer to an end result. It does not mean that one is cured nor does it mean that one is simply

stabilised or maintained in the community. Recovery often involves a transformation of the self wherin one both

accepts ones's limitation and discovers a new world of possibilty's-recovery is a way of life. It is an attitude and a way of approaching the day's challenges.

Take Care

Re: Recovery

Hi @Polarshift

What a wonderful message about recovery, thank you for sharing

This really resonates with me. I especially like the part about recovery not being an end-point, but rather an ongoing journey of growth, which is unique to the individual.

Shimmer 🙂
