Life: it’s one thing to have one, but it's participating in it that helps you meet your dreams.
Your Recovery Capital refers to the internal and external resources that you can draw upon to support and strengthen your recovery. Some examples of Recovery Capital include a positive self outlook, a support system, or a means of paying your bills.
Below is the Recovery Capital Blueprint—an extensive list of areas in your life that have been identified as direct influences on recovery. When you improve on any of these areas, you build Recovery Capital that will help you meet your goals.
Your Peer Recovery Specialist will go through this list of questions with you to understand your current level of Recovery Capital, and to discuss areas that you'd like to focus on improving.
