Recovery is about learning to love and valve yourself enough to stop destroying yourself. It's about learning to change your mind and your heart.
It's about forgiving yourself and others. It's about letting go of shame and learning to accept your true self.

Recovery is about letting go of the lofty expectation of perfection that you have placed upon yourself and others. It's learning to love and accept yourself and others unconditionally.

Recovery 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.

Recovery 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.
