An illness has taken over our lives and, in many moments, holds our minds and bodies prisoner. We are stressed out, overwhelmed & exhausted. The illness is hurting us and people we care about. And there’s no going back: our old way of life will be left in 2019.

But we can’t live like this forever. Eventually, we realize that our old way of life no longer works. Things have to change. This is recovery: being willing to step into a new way of living, without knowing the outcome, but ready to rebuild and reclaim your life.

Everybody says we hope we return to normal.
Well, It’s not going to return to normal anytime soon because the new normal is going to be different. It’s time to embrace and adapt this new lifestyle to the new normal.
