Awakening Recovery - A Non-Profit Structured Recovery Home in West La️ 6 days ago

In looking back at 2025, this article is a good example of how we at Awakening Recovery focus on sustained lived experience in recovery to help those with chronic and acute substance addiction through mentoring lasting behavior change, having a vital spiritual awakening and living a life based on service to others. Notably, this research study of more than 9,000 people, showed that over 90% defined their elements of "essential recovery" as including: - Being honest with myself - Handling negative feelings without using drugs or alcohol - Being able to enjoy life without drinking or using drugs like I used to and including 3 elements of "enriched recovery" to include: - A process of growth and development - Reacting to life's ups and downs in a more balanced way than I used to - Taking responsibility for the things I can change And lastly of note in this research, 63% endorsed recovery as spiritual in nature and more than 90% endorsed recovery being about giving back, and helping other people to not drink or use drugs like they used to. Happy New Year and may you have a blessed 2026!
