Hope

Today we talk about how we use hope and belief in our recovery AND in everyday life! Hope and belief can carry us through all of life’s ups and downs--but how do we cultivate hope and belief? How do we practice it? 

 

“Life is what you make it!” But what does that mean really and how does it pertain to hope and belief?

 

“Belief that you might be able to hope” - Lynn’s experience in early recovery was that belief came before hope--but that was a start!

Belief - Trust, faith and confidence in someone/something.

Hope- Feeling of optimism or a desire that something will happen.
