Once you get to the other side of your recovery and you meet your new self, you are then able to turn around and help others in need.
That type of work I believe is the most rewarding.
I had an opportunity to work at a homeless mental health drop in center where I connected with members everyday on their life’s journey.
At the center, our members (instead of “clients” to reduce the stigma), would come in for hot meals, laundry, showers and housing advocacy.
In addition to that, we also did tons of activities. Art therapy, pet therapy, physical activity, community events and more.
There, I was able to take our members to play tennis, swimming, bowling, hiking, kayaking and so much more.
Our members who were homeless would get a chance to participate in activities and go to places they most likely wouldn’t be able to if they were alone.
The most rewarding part of these experiences was being able to see our members in a different light and connect with them in a different environment.
I saw twinkles in many of their eyes and smiles from the corners of their lips as we experienced something new together as group.
It was absolutely amazing.

8 Printable Recovery Bookmarks Alcohol Ink Theme (FREE Personalized Bookmark Included)
One other activity we did often was reading.
Every day at work, I would sit with one member and read our favourite books in each other’s company.
He would go to a meeting almost everyday and then come down to the center to spend the rest of his time.
I became a part of his daily routine and that is so important because stability and structure is necessary for recovery.
It was very humbling to be a part of that.
Personally, reading was a habit that I adapted as a part of my recovery.
What we decide to put into our minds, is so important and choosing the right books is where it all begins.
