“The process of recovery requires coming out of the darkness, out of one's secretness, and coming to terms with acquiring honesty and then humbling ourselves and being a part of a group, not doing things on one's own learning when it's appropriate, to ask for help and to not rely upon our own thinking and our own understanding.”
