About the “Your Life and Recovery Journey” Workbook
Anyone can use the “Your Life and Recovery Journey” workbook. We use the idea of a forest to tell a story about life. Significant events may happen more than once in your life. When we talk about significant life events, this can be a(n):
- Significant loss
- Death of a loved one
- Trauma, the onset of a mental illness, or a reoccurrence of that experience
- Physical illness
- Substance use issue
- Injury that leads to a physical disability
To illustrate the impacts of these events and what happens afterwards, we talk about a process called recovery, which means finding your way in life and living the life you want. The workbook guides a process of developing plans that can help to define:
- What recovery looks like for you
- What wellness looks like for you
- How to deal with any periods of crisis that you may encounter
