Redefining Recovery: Beyond Abstinence to Wellness

Most medical and spiritual community definitions did have a requirement of abstinence. However, over the years, those definitions have changed, instead focusing on the individual and dynamic nature of recovery, with the overall goal being on wellness and self-improvement.
Ever thought about what recovery really means? Liv and Tiffany dive into this question in episode 002 of 'Breaking Free: Your Recovery, Your Way'. They kick things off by examining how the definition of recovery has evolved over the years. Traditionally, both medical and spiritual communities insisted on complete abstinence. But times have changed, and so have the definitions. Now, there's a bigger focus on wellness and self-improvement.
Liv and Tiffany highlight definitions from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and the Recovery Science Research Collaborative, both of which emphasize a more individualized and dynamic approach to recovery. This episode isn't just about definitions, though. Liv and Tiffany also discuss the importance of harm reduction and self-directed recovery. Tiffany shares her personal struggle with diet culture and body image, illustrating how recovery can take many forms.
They stress that recovery isn't a one-size-fits-all journey; it's about finding what works best for you. By the end of the episode, you'll see why creating an accessible and supportive recovery community is so crucial. If you're curious about redefining recovery on your own terms, this episode is a must-listen.
