“Another question I am frequently asked is, "What do you mean by recovery?" It has taken me a while to answer that one. I had been depending on other people's definitions of recovery until I developed one that worked for me (just as you must come to one that makes sense for you.) Mine is simple. For me, it is about freedom. Recovery is the freedom to make choices in your life that aren't determined by the abuse. The specific choices will be different for each of you; the freedom to choose is your birthright.” RecoveryChild AbuseChild Sexual AbuseSurvivorsHealing InsightsMale Survivor Book:Victims No Longer: Men Recovering from Incest and Other Sexual Child Abuse Source: Victims No Longer: Men Recovering from Incest and Other Sexual Child Abuse
