Recovery ain't risk exclusively to mental health and substance use. I brushed my teeth today, that's recovery. I took a hot shower, that's recovery. I get to tell my son I love him, I get to kiss on my daughter, that's recovery. Because, yeah, the trauma is there, but what's most important is the hope, and I've got that too. I'm not gonna give that up, and I just want to share that because like, dang, you've been through all that, Derek. Yup, still here.
