Strong negative emotions can get in the way of meeting the daily demands of our lives. When we are overcome by debilitating mental states such as anxiety, depression, stress, anger, low self-esteem, impulsivity, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive behavior, it is very difficult to handle our responsibilities in an effective manner. Rather, we seem to dig ourselves into a deeper hole, and find it even more difficult to take the rational steps that we need to take in order to get control of the situation.
The RECOVERY INTERNATIONAL Method offers a very practical, commonsense way to calm ourselves when we are suffering from distressing emotional states. And when we are calm, we are able to get a clearer grasp of the actual reality before us. When our bodies are no longer charged by the unpleasant chemistry of emotional distress, our perspective changes and we are able to see options that we had not seen before. RECOVERY INTERNATIONAL (formerly Recovery, Inc.) has helped tens of thousands of people take control of their lives since its beginnings in the 1930s.
Ann Landers speaking of Recovery, Inc. (now RECOVERY INTERNATIONAL) “Their record of success is phenomenal.”
You are welcome to visit any of the numerous meetings in the greater Los Angeles area and observe just how the RECOVERY INTERNATIONAL Method works. You will also hear the personal stories as people relate their “before and after,” giving testimony to the effectiveness of the RECOVERY INTERNATIONAL Method.
The meetings are free, but free will donations are welcomed. Recovery International (formerly Recovery, Inc), founded in 1937, is a non-profit worldwide organization.
