More to Recovery

There is a lot more to recovery than abstinence. As a matter of fact, abstinence has very little to do with recovery. Recovery involves creating a new life that does not depend on the use of alcohol or drugs. A life that is so enjoyable and connected that using or drinking no longer presents as an option. Abstinence simply becomes a by-product of recovery rather than the cornerstone of recovery.
