Though it changes from week to week, there are a few questions people always ask me about "Active" Recovery:<ol><li>What does stick with the winners mean? This means a person new to recovery should have respect for those who have lived and formally acquired recovery experience. A winner is someone whose recovery life is in full swing. They are always busy doing something, not for their own gain but for the people.</li><li>What is the best way to get into recovery? My sponsor said "ANYWAY" is the best way to get into recovery. The trick is to find out what makes you "STAY" in recovery. We need to honour all traditional healing ways that help people "STAY" in recovery, whether it be the 12-step model, counselling, psychotherapy, psychiatry, treatment, Christianity, etc</li><li>Do I need to work with colonizers? We believe recovery comes from ALL walks of life. Look at the four colours of races on the medicine wheel. There are white people, Red People, Black People, and Yellow People. These are the four races that make up the Medicine Wheel. We can obtain "Active Recovery" Principles from all individuals in the Medicine Wheel.</li><li>Where do I start my recovery journey? By asking this question, you’ve already started. From here, we need to build a supportive recovery tribe around you. We need to truly consult with other individuals who know what true healing is about. You will know because there will be an open exchange of processes, resources, and changes.</li></ol>Unfortunately, no one size fits all. If this were true, I would have created a "Red" pill and poof," you would now be on the "Red" Road. All healing starts with a decision. Only "YOU" can make that decision. We can help you get started by clicking&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://portal.owlpractice.ca/iwtscanada/booking">here</a>, but this choice is one that you have to make; you have to click the button and follow through on your commitment to beginning the healing journey.

The author emphasizes the significance of "Active" Recovery, highlighting its universality and the need for a supportive recovery community and understanding of its principles.
