| What is recovery?
Recovery is having your dog poop, not once, not twice, but THREE times on your brand new deck that you just finished staining a few days ago ... ... and rather than going on some sort of anger binge ... saying to yourself "Well, I guess it probably was a more comfortable place for him to poop. We'll just have to let him know that the grass is better." What a difference a few life coping tools make (and no alcohol). I just laughed to myself, so thought I would share.

For me recovery means more than an "end of drinking". It means an "end of suffering" (nirodha) as well.

Medication/Treatment While many people are frustrated by the process of finding the right medications and the side effects of medications, most persons with a psychiatric disorder indicate that medications are critical to their success (Sullivan, 1997). For many, the goal is not to be medication-free, but to take the least amount necessary. Likewise, mental health consumers often report that mental health professionals and treatment programs are valuable to their recovery. Especially when consumers feel they are engaged in a partnership with their treatment provider and are involved in their treatment planning.  |
