RECOVERY 1 – ACCEPTANCE

Individuals who are not familiar with addiction believe that a person who quits using drugs and/or alcohol has “recovered”.

But those people who are familiar with the issue of addiction know that to stop using drugs and/or alcohol is only the beginning of recovery.

Recovery is an ongoing effort by a person to get rid of old ideas and habits and to accept many changes in their lives in order to improve his or her character and to become a better person.
