What do you want to accomplish when you recover?

[Rumors]

I would like to finish my degree. Although I have a great job that pays well, I wish I had finished my degree. If I had chosen to go the associates degrees would have enough but not enough for my BA. I was basically 2 semesters shy and quit bc life got too difficult for me... I am still angry with myself.

I don’t have any goals for when I recover......I figure this baby is with me for life, lol. I have goals that are easier to achieve now that I’m further along in healing.

Same, finish my degree and start a band, with me as front lady.:singing:
I've loads to go, basically I only finished all my core units. I changed my major focus so a bunch of those units won't count, but I'll be studying what I really want, which I've had a lot of fear and unworthiness to work through, to even feel entitled, to go in the direction I really want.

I want to wake in a peaceful home next to someone who loves me. I want a period of time where I am able to enjoy life and do normal things.

This is a GREAT question.

I want to help other male survivors of domestic violence or sexual abuse. I am not sure what that looks like yet - maybe it will require a career change or maybe I can do it on a volunteer basis ... All I know is that I feel a deep need to reach out to other men like me.

I long to be carefree! Strange word! Huh! I want my coping mechanisms to be autonomous and see the struggles of life to be something not to be afraid of. I have an amazing supportive husband and two great kids I just want to enjoy them. I am still a long way off but to not fear, fear would be incredible. I am a native English speaker in a foreign country. I would love to be more fluent in the language to speak and help people who have also a difficult journey in life.

Be free, stay free, trust again, go back to school.

I wish I knew. Having a purpose is one of those things that helps drag my ass back into the land of the living in the first place.

RECOVER?
I always kinda thought about this in the same terms of alcoholism in a way. You maintain.
You get back to some sort of equilibrium.
I never thought of things in terms of recovery just better control.

To support people so they never ever have the live the hell that I and many people I now know, have.

Yes. May you have strength next time around, I relate to the college issue. It was stressful being subjected to ignorance by people.

I finished an application for peer support specialist, it would be nice to motivate others with similar conditions.
