What is Recovery from Addiction?
Recovery refers to an active process of learning to enjoy life without the use of alcohol or drugs of intoxication. Recovery is not just about not using - it is about healing, growth and sobriety - learning to enjoy life on its own terms and at its own pace.

Twelve Step Recovery first began with the program of Alcoholics Anonymous. These twelve steps are now applied to recovery from narcotics and many other compulsive conditions.

The basic principles of recovery are now widely applied in other treatment and recovery programs.
