“Resiliency is important because, you know, we're often talking about substance use, but we're also talking about all sorts of recovery, whether it's some sort of sexual addiction, food addiction, or alcohol and opioids. We're trying to be something other than where we are - change. And with that comes challenge. And it's hard. I mean, that's such an understatement, right? And I think when we're in recovery, we need resiliency because we're gonna get punched in the mouth. Sometimes we're gonna make mistakes. Things aren't always going to go exactly the way we want to. We've got to have some resiliency. We've got to have some toughness that manifests in the reality that we get back up, that we don't stay down.”
