Recovery From Many Pathways
This week Mary discusses one of the SAMHSA Guiding Principles: that recovery occurs via many pathways. Individuals are unique with different needs and strengths. Your pathway to recovery will be different than others. Expecting the same recovery path from everyone is not wise, and when we are where we are supposed to be we will flourish. Have the courage to forge ahead along your own recovery path.

Perfectly Imperfect – By Design!
Mary wants to talk about self acceptance, dependence, and self reliance. She discusses on how during her own recovery she felt she needed to be healed from being herself, but she wants to remind you that you are important and who you are is by design. Take a note from Mary rejection of self is not needed for recovery- hope for more, love more, reflect more, and accept yourself more.
