How Writing Can Help
-
You're the Hero
For many of us, recovery is a journey of ups and downs. Writing your story can help you see just how many challenges and obstacles you’ve overcome along the way.

Find a way forward
We all feel ‘stuck’ at times. Words can help you get moving again. Writing about an achievable goal or a dream outcome can help you take those small, important steps towards your recovery.

See your successes
It’s easy to spend a lot of time talking or thinking about your so-called ‘failures’. Write your story and you can start to see your successes clearly too.
Writing and Recovery
