Recovery Box – The Gift of Sobriety

Recovery Box - The Gift of Sobriety

Hope Rehab Thailand Recovery Tool Kit

“For want of a nail, the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe, the horse was lost.
For want of a horse, the rider was lost.
For want of a rider, the battle was lost.
For want of a battle, the kingdom was lost,
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.”

Old Proverb

What is a Recovery Box?

Imagine if you took on a DIY project. In order to do a good job, you would need to assemble the right tools for the task ahead. Recovering from an addiction is one of the most difficult projects we will ever take on so having the right tools is going to be important.

A recovery box is a collection of resources that we can gift to a loved one who is in early recovery or it is something that we can create for ourself. We can’t expect ending an addiction to be just one big picnic, but if we can pack our hamper with the right kinds of stuff, we will make things easier.

What Might We Put in a Recovery Box?

When considering what might be useful to put in a recovery box, it is important to consider the challenges that need to be faced during this period of transition from addiction to long-term recovery. This is a huge adjustment that impacts us physically, psychologically, emotionally, spiritually, and socially. So, any item that can help with these areas might be worthy of our recovery box.
