Owning Your Recovery Patchwork

It's essential, as individuals, that we truly believe that our chosen recovery pathway and patchwork is the very best one for us. If we don't, we’ll find it hard to stay engaged with and invest in our recovery approach.

We should be able to speak confidently about the modalities that we follow on our healing journey, which is easier to do when we have to put together our own recovery road map. We shouldn't allow anybody to dissuade us or make us think less of our choices, and we shouldn't try to convince anyone else that our way should be theirs.

Our patchwork, as different as it might be, can never threaten anyone else's recovery. As Charlotte Kasl, author of Many Roads, One Journey: Moving Beyond the 12 Steps, wrote, "Neither I nor anyone else can take away someone's program by speaking of other ways. When someone thinks I can, it is because they have not internalized their own belief system and are giving their power to another person." I hope that you have internalized your belief in your own recovery.

May your confidence in how you do recovery sustain and empower you.
