Fireman John of StopDrop&Recover blog reports on about.com article citing the Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment panel defining recovery as "a voluntarily maintained lifestyle characterized by sobriety, personal health, and citizenship."
Personal health refers to sobriety and self care, while citizenship refers to "social health".
I think the idea of social health is an excellent perspective on recovery and is why admitting to others our faults, making amends where possible and carrying the message of hope to others is pinnacle to genuine lasting change.
