IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF RECOVERY
Hope
Mel reminds us in his post signature that finding and nurturing hope must be seen as a key to recovery. It is said to include not just optimism, but a daily belief in oneself and a willingness to persevere through uncertainty and setbacks.
Hope starts at a certain turning point, or may emerge gradually as a small and fragile feeling, and it may fluctuate with despair. But hope must involve trusting, while risking disappointment.
A Secure base
Appropriate housing, a sufficient income, freedom from mold, and adequate access to health care will lend to greater success with healing.
Supportive relationships
Part of recovery is the need for the presence of others who believe in the person's potential to recover. So this forum and community should be used as a valuable and available support system because relationships with friends and family may change dramatically.
Coping strategies
Learning coping and problem solving skills will require you to become your own expert. In order to identify key stress points and possible crisis points, try to better understand and develop your own ways of responding and coping.
Strength and Love'
