Meaning and Purpose in Recovery

In a compelling video featuring Dennis Scott Farmer, author of "Ironing Money" and CEO of VetCare IOP, he emphasizes the pivotal role of finding meaning and purpose in one's journey of recovery. Farmer, also the founder of Recovery 101, underscores that uncovering these elements is a deeply personal and individual process. He defines meaning as "what matters to you, what helps define you," and purpose as "the actions you take to achieve and sustain what matters." Farmer encourages those on the path to recovery to begin early by identifying what is most important to them and outlining concrete steps to achieve their goals. This proactive approach, he suggests, lays a solid foundation for a transformative and fulfilling recovery journey.
