Some people suggest that the word \u2018recovery\u2019 would be better put as \u2018discovery\u2019 or \u2018re-creation\u2019 because happy sobriety is about more than just getting well \u2013 it is about getting \u2018better than well\u2019. The joy of recovery lies in knowing we are doing things right at last, that we feel good about ourselves, we are physically well and that we belong in the human family. Isn\u2019t that better than the life of desperation that I had before? No wonder that fellowship meetings are full of happiness and laughter. Am I ready to grasp the opportunity of recovery and to make it a re-creation of my life?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-background\"><strong>The scourge of addiction is a desperate time in our lives, but recovery should be a time for happiness.
