The Definition of Recovery according to the Miriam webster dictionary is
The act of regaining or returning toward a normal or healthy state.
I believe in returning to healthy, but not always normal. I feel this will be a discussion for another time.
I am very passionate about recovery programs. Whether it be from physical to psychological programs. It's not always easy, but with time they worked for me.
It was in the 90's when I had my first major breakdown. Married with two kids. I spent five days in a psychiatric hospital. I was discharged home with medication. The doctor recommended my s\o at the time and I get counseling, because there was tension in our marriage and he thought that was more the problem.
The recovery here was realizing my s/o wasn't 100% my partner, as I was the only one who went to counseling. I learned that I had to take care of myself and my children first.
In later segments I will talk about my recovery from an actual psychiatric diagnosis, being affected by addiction and all the positives that lead to recovering from breast cancer.
