As we are all now living in unprecedented in which the world is experiencing vast changes on all fronts that are going to affect us for generations to come. In recovery the words of Carl Sandburg keep echoing in my mind,' A society, (or individual, my words) that forgets where it came from, will destroy itself.'

Emphasising the fact that you should never forget where you came from whilst reinforcing the fact that recovery is not about going back to your old life but is about building a new one.
