Celebrate Recovery

In order to celebrate recovery, one must appreciate the difficulty and strength involved in the recovery processes. It has been my experience that it takes action and a firm commitment to your recovery.

Whether you are recovering from surgery, a major illness or substance abuse, there is reason to celebrate where you are right now. You are alive, healthy, vital and moving on with your life. You will be around to see all of life's best moments: family, love, adventure, helping others, travel, music or art.

Stop drug abuse

If you want  stop drug abuse you will defiantly have to do something different if you want to be able to celebrate any kind of recovery what so ever; in fact I would even go so far as to say you must stop if you want to continue living many addicts never get a second chance.

If you should face another crisis, whatever it is, you can find the strength to get through it. Again. And again, if necessary. However, for right now, focus on the here and now. Don't dwell on the past or be frightened of the future. You are in the here and now and whatever got you to this point will get you through to the next step and the next day, the next week, the next month and year.

How to celebrate recovery

Celebrating recovery is not so much what you have been through, but where you are going. Give yourself credit for where you are now. Celebrate yourself and your loved ones who helped get you to this place. Celebrate your caregivers, professionals and strangers, who helped you reach this point. Celebrate the technology that diagnosed you, treated you, cured you and the people whose faces made it just a little better for you on the days you felt you could no longer go on. Celebrate the person who held your hand and guided you off up a chair or bed and celebrate the person with the soft, caring voice that calmed you.

Celebrate life. Celebrate recovery.
