The Cornerstones of Recovery: Jennifer Maneely's Essential Guide

Recovery is a little bit more than someone just putting the drugs down right. And the four non-negotiables are that people have recovery mentors, community of like-minded individuals, willingness to find the right people, and the ability to put more energy into themselves than others.

Each of these elements plays a crucial role in setting and maintaining effective boundaries. Recovery mentors are highlighted as indispensable guides who provide tools, strategies, and coping techniques that don’t involve substances. But Jennifer is quick to point out that mentors alone aren’t enough.
Building a supportive community of people who understand your journey is equally vital. She encourages listeners to be proactive in finding the right individuals who can offer genuine support.
