For those of us with depression, the recovery process is a time for change–change in our habits, attitudes, actions.  While change is not easy, to recover we must face changes.  We will only be trapped in our old patterns if we so choose.  I choose to change.  I want to unlearn old, bad attitudes and behaviors and substitute healthier ones.  I know that by living one day at a time, I can succeed.

Change is a constant in our lives.  We are always growing, always learning.  Each experience adds to our self-understanding and adds richness to our lives.  Each learning adds to our wisdom and aids our recovery.  But we must accept the lessons and build trust in them if they are to take hold.  I will look for the lessons in each change that happens in my life.  I will welcome changes, knowing that they are helping me become the person I want to be.
