Imagine we are approaching a cave cut into the side of a mountain. Deep inside the cave is the remedy to counteract our mental health and substance misuse conditions. John crawls out, and we crawl in. Like John, we stood there inside the cave for five minutes. Motionless. Staring at the remedy. Not making a sound.
Then we start to smile and whisper, “I found the remedy for my Recovery… the 12 steps to manage my symptoms.”
The smile is still on our faces as we crawl out. John does not notice the smile. He notices us crawling out behind Mary.
“Who are you?” Peter asks.
“Well, I’m a person with a mental health condition. I’ve been seeking to be healed for a long time, but only with a little support…listening to what other Recoverees say, watching what they do.”
John says, “We’re going back to the place where peers gather daily.”
Then, after a pause, he says, “Would you like to join us?”
We regularly become curious about our mental wellness. We acknowledge that healing occurs through relationships and supportive peer groups.
