I liked the way "recovery" was presented in this list. Thought I'd share.

WHAT IS RECOVERY?
Stacy Nordquist, M.A.​

I. Recovery is actively taking responsibility for how you live your life today.

2.Recovery is being able to put the past behind. It’s no longer having your childhood script dominate how you live your life today.


3.Recovery is being able to speak the truth about your growing up years.


4. Recovery is the process in which you develop skills you weren’t able to learn in your childhood.


5. Recovery is a process, not an event, often beginning as a result of a professionally directed treatment or therapy, or experiences in self-help groups.


6. Recovery is no longer living a life based in fear or shame.


7. Recovery is developing your sense of self-separate from survival/coping mechanisms. Your identity is no longer based in reaction, but action.

8. Recovery-is the process of identifying, owning and developing healthy ways of expressing feelings; it is the process of learning self-love, self-acceptance. From learning these new ways a person often learns how to set healthy boundaries and limits, To get needs met, to play, relax, and develop flexibility.​

9. Recovery is the process of learning to trust yourself and then trusting others, and with trust comes the opportunity for intimacy.
