personal recovery toolkit? - 06/03/05 08:50 PM
I need a personal recovery toolkit.
There are days when I have no problem fighting for what I believe in, regardless of future outcome. But there are days when I want to fight for something in a realm that I completely control, like my personal recovery.
The foundation of personal recovery seems to rest on:
1. Sleep
2. Exercise
3. Healthy Diet
4. Anti-depressants as needed
5. Cleanliness (personal and home)
6. Get a life (pursue interests and engage with the living)
Personal recovery from affairs involves:
7. Accepting the fact that it happened (no more "if only..." or "why me?")
8. Understanding the complex reasons for affairs (not just "personal failure").
9. Deliberately focusing on dealing with it and talking openly about what happened.
10. Allowing time to heal.
11. Believing it's possible to recover.
12. Letting go.
I know there must great links for each of these categories. Are there other ways to think about working on personal recovery? Anyone else interested in this?
