Recovery is a wonderful word. It means getting something back. Today I will try to remember that “that something is me.” ~ Courage to Change, Page 125

To recover is to get back,
whether to extract the original
in a chemical process,
to earn back the initial expenditure
before beginning to add profit,
to get well, ridding the body of illness,
regaining possession of something stolen…
To recover is to get back.
To live in recovery is to regain (or gain first)
a life worth living, a sense of self,
a comfort in body and soul,
a freedom from obsession and addiction.
To recovery is to get back.
