- 18. “… the experience (a process and a sustained status) through which individuals, families, and communities impacted by severe alcohol and other drug (AOD) problems utilize internal and external resources to voluntarily resolve these problems, heal the wounds inflicted by AOD-related problems, actively manage their continued vulnerability to such problems, and develop a healthy, productive, and meaningful life.” William White
- 19. The UKRF Recovery Principles: Recovery lies within individuals, families and communities and is self directed and empowering. Recovery lies within our ‘connectedness’ to others, is holistic and has many cultural dimensions. Recovery is supported by peers, families and allies within communities. Recovery involves the personal, cultural and structural recognition of the need for participative change, transformation and the building of recovery capital. Recovery involves a continual process of change and self-redefinition for individuals, families, organisations and communities.
- 20. Recovery challenges all discrimination and transcends shame and stigma. Recovery emerges from hope, gratitude, love and service to others. There are many pathways to Recovery and no individual, community or organisation has the right to claim ownership of the ‘right pathway.’ Recovery exists on a continuum of improved health and well-being. Recovery transcends, whilst embracing, harm reduction and abstinence based approaches and does not seek to be prescriptive. Honesty, self-awareness and openness lie at the heart of Recovery. Recovery is a Reality & Contagious
- 21. Where are WE going? The UKRF will stick to its Principles and Values The UKRF will build on the Strengths that every one has The UKRF will support the building of new Recovery Networks/ Communities The UKRF will be part of a new Social Justice movement
