Recovery is something that you have to work on every single day and it's something that it doesn't get a day off.

Part of recovery is relapse. I dust myself off and move forward again.

Through recovery, I've been able to do so much good stuff.

It's cool to be a part of recovery. This is just who I am, this is what I write about, what I do, and most of my work has been a reflection of what I've been going through in one way or another.

This is the hardest thing I've ever done. The rehab has not gone as expected.

My family and friends were definitely the key to my recovery. One thing that I do suggest is that anyone dealing with a life-threatening illness like cancer choose a point person for people to call to find out how you are doing - a sister, brother, mother, father, daughter, son, or close friend.

But my activities have been pretty much focused in the last almost 30 years on the recovery, of my own recovery, the understanding for my family of my recovery.

Recovery begins from the darkest moment.

Rehab is endlessly repetitive. And it's never easy, because once you've mastered some movement or action or word, no matter how small, you move on to the next. You never rest.

The most important thing about recovery is to pass the message on.
