"Recipe for RECOVERY"... Are you willing?

So... I am getting discharged from the hospital tomorrow! That is a good thing! I am excited, but I am also hesitant... I know I have a great support system to go home to, but I know that there is still much hard work ahead of me... Also, I am sad to leave behind the new friends I have made here! However, I will keep pressing on!

This treatment center has given me a very positive experience overall! The treatment team is absolutely AMAZING!

As I get ready to discharge, I am preparing a small card of HOPE, CHALLENGE, and ENCOURAGEMENT for my peers who will remain in programming... Here's part of what I am sharing with them! It is also for me and for you!

Here goes...
