I learned that recovery should be meaningful and give sense of purpose.

Self-acceptance is the reason I recovered from having suicidal thoughts. Acceptance was a big part of recovery for me

Acceptance has been a big part of my recovery. It affected every aspect of my wellbeing and hearing stories about acceptance has helped me realise it's what i need to do to move forward. Thanks New Leaf!
