New here...

I just found this sight and I am delighted. I googled "what does recovery look like" and there it was!

I wanted to answer the question myself. To me recovery is an acute sense of the truth.

thanks Phal. You summed up in one sentence that which I have been trying to figure out with what seems like a telephone book full of answers.

If you want to send a PM, you need 5 posts, if you want to post a link, you need 15 posts.

These are the rules:

The post rules are an excellent way to keep spammers out. Other boards I go to for different things are constantly being spammed by jerks trying to sell stuff but it doesn't happen here and I am sure this is one of the reasons.

Welcome to the newcomers.
Hope you find what you are looking for here.

The truth and what we know about it is subject to revision.
If you really want to find out what recovery looks like, start recovering and look in the mirror.

Yoko...good question.....I don't know, but I'm looking for the answer. I do like your answer, though.
