When it comes to recovery it helps people to think about things that are important in their life. Remember there are no right or wrong ways to recover but research suggests that the key things are:

• Good relationships
• Satisfying work
• Personal growth
• The right living environment

Consider making SMART goals-SMART stands for :

• Specific-being clear about what you want to do
• Meaningful- if it’s important to you you are more likely to stick with it
• Achievable- Don’t set your goals too high-be sure you can achieve them, though it may take a little effort
• Realistic – Is your goal appropriate for you- like “I’ve been for a walk once this week, can I do it again?”
• Time-Limited  – set a date when you want to achieve the goals you have set

It’s important you’re not too hard on yourself, even though you may not have achieved your goals yet, you can still do it.
