The dark times and feelings can often fuel our procovery. Why do we call it Procovery? Because Recovery implies returning to a former state of wellness. People who have cancer, diabetes, who are paraplegic, and who have a chemical disorder in their brain cannot return to what they once were. So in Procovery, we try to do at least these things :
1) Accept that we have an disorder (not an illness) that is permanent.
2) Find ways to manage the disorder properly with medicine, and support from peers, health professionals, and family.
3) Look forward, not backward. Make plans, discover possibilities, re-create your life and yourself.
