Always remember though,, that recovery is a very individual process - that there is no timeframe, written in stone, so to speak.  What recovery means for me is going to be different for everyone.  I have always viewed recovery as being like a journey towards self-fulfillment, and a journey of healing lifes hurts etc.  Recovery is more than dealing with the symptoms - it is deeper rooted than that.  To all extents and purposes I may appear recovered, but I don't consider myself recovered just yet.  There are still areas of my life that I need to work on, but sometimes I get a shock when I make positive strides in considering my own values, and being true to them.  I have a friend who in the past taught me so much, which has now gone the complete circle in the opposite direction - it is now I, who is teaching her.  This surprises me in one way, but it also shows me where I've come from, and where I am destined.
