Finding Purpose in Recovery

Introduction
When you’re recovering from a trauma, it’s easy to feel lost. You may have lost your job, your friends and maybe even your home. Finding a purpose in recovery can be difficult, especially if your trauma was related to something in your past that you were passionate about or gave you meaning. When it comes to finding a purpose, it’s important to remember that you don’t have to find the exact thing you want to do for the rest of your life. You can alter your course, try different things and learn new skills until you find one (or many) that you love and are good at. These are the things that give you purpose
Finding a Purpose
Finding a purpose after trauma can be difficult. You may not know what you want to do with your life and that’s okay. It doesn’t mean you are a failure or that something is wrong with you.
You don’t have to find the exact thing you want to do for the rest of your life, but it’s important to start somewhere.
Finding a purpose after trauma can be difficult. Especially if your trauma was related to something in your past that you were passionate about or gave you meaning.
If this is the case for you, try not to get too discouraged. And give up on finding meaning in life. You don’t have to find the exact thing you want to do for the rest of your life right away. Sometimes it takes a while before we figure out what our true calling is. But there are some things that can help:
- Think about what makes other people’s lives fulfilling? What makes them excited? Why do they wake up excited every morning? How could their passions apply (or not) for yourself?
- Look at different careers or volunteer opportunities–any area where people tend toward passion when talking about their jobs/volunteer work will likely be worth exploring further!

If your purpose is to help others, think about how this can be done in recovery. You may want to volunteer at a shelter or food bank or work with children who have been abused or neglected.
If your purpose is to help animals, there are many ways for people in recovery to get involved: volunteering at an animal shelter; helping out with dog walking services; becoming a certified dog trainer; taking care of horses; assisting veterinarians with surgery procedures…the possibilities are endless!
Finding a purpose in recovery can be hard, but not impossible
Finding a purpose in recovery can be hard, but not impossible. If you are just getting started with your recovery and don’t know what your purpose is yet, don’t worry! It’s okay to take some time to figure out what makes you happy and what makes others happy around you.
You might have to try several things before finding the right one for yourself.Eeven then it might change over time as life goes on. That’s okay! Life changes all the time! So we need to keep up with those changes by finding new ways of being useful members of society who make others around them feel good too!
