"

Recovery is a deeply personal unique process of changing one’s attitudes, values, feelings, goals, skills and roles.

It’s a way of living a satisfactory, hopeful and contributing life even with limitations caused by illness.

Recovery involves the development of new meaning and purpose in one’s life as one grows beyond the catastrophic effects of mental illness.

Anthony, 1993
