Lesson 6: As This Guidebook Ends, Your Journey Continues

Thank you for taking the time to read this guidebook.

I hope you found the information and insights beneficial, and that you had some “a-ha!” moments along the way. (Even I had some takeaways as I researched for this book.)

Our recovery journey is lifelong. You’ll have ups, downs, progressions, and regressions. Embrace a learning/growth mindset throughout, and you’ll be OK.

Finally, think of this handbook as a framework and launchpad for a new phase of your journey and refer to it often as you progress up the UMM Pyramid.

This book is not intended to be all-inclusive; rather, its topics should provoke you to investigate other resources and dig deeper. You have a lot of hard work ahead of you, but you’ve already come a long way, too! You deserve every good thing that comes with a successful recovery. You’re worth it!
