6. Living a Recovery Lifestyle – What does that mean, anyway?
September is Recovery Month!
Sometimes this designation gets overlooked because September is also Suicide Prevention Month. But one way to address rising suicide rates is to help people learn to live a life of recovery. In this podcast, Caroline shares definitions of recovery that include one unique perspective of recovery as "to again protect myself." She also talks about practical activities that can represent the recovery lifestyle.
