Recovery: Why it Is Important to Share Your Story
This article discusses the why someone in recovery should share their story. It’s important for both the person in recovery and others.
·It affirms the importance of your story. If you have dealt with an eating disorder or with addiction, you know it to be one of the defining experiences of your life. Sharing your story lends credence to that.
·It also makes your recovery more real to you. No longer is it just something you hope for; it’s something you’ve spoken aloud, passed around with friends and strangers, and laid claim to as your very own.
·It forms instant bonds of solidarity between you, which may even blossom into something like friendship.
·It can also be highly practical: Not only can you share your story, but you can share specific strategies, toolsets, and coping mechanisms that have been helpful to you.
