‘Recovery’
Recovery is not managing illness
It’s discovering wellness
Recovery is not fixing what’s broken
It’s finding wholeness, meaning, and purpose
A love for life
Recovery is a journey
A reconnection to self, others, nature, and Spirit
A willingness to forgive, an openness toward reconciliation
A search for peace
Recovery requires discipline - listening, learning, and growth
An appreciation for the lessons of passion, and suffering
A love for humor
It takes faith – perseverance, and strength
Without guarantee, without certainty
Recovery is not for the faint of heart
It’s reserved for the fighter
The one who refuses to say “die”
Until the spirit has truly lived
May you experience recovery -
With all its challenge, in all its beauty
