STAGES OF RECOVERY

“Recovery unfolds in three stages. The central task of the first stage is the establishment of safety. The central task of the second stage is remembrance and mourning. The central focus of the third stage is reconnection with ordinary life.”      Judith Lewis Herman

“I’ll leave you with this: Addiction is a pattern built into the mind-body system. To move beyond addiction one must re-pattern the mind and body. There is no cure. Rather it is a process accessible to any one of us as long as we are willing to surrender to what is, accept help along the way and practice an attitude of gratitude free from complaint and always looking to see how we can contribute to the solution rather than live in the problem.”
Tommy Rosen
