What does it truly mean to be in recovery?

 

In this first episode of In The Flow, a new series within Mind Sattva: Practical Wisdom for Modern Life, Dr. Mitika Kanabar reflects on the many ways recovery can take shape. As an addiction medicine physician, she shares her belief that recovery begins the day you decide to get help and reminds us that the path is unique for each person.

 

From a grounding moment with a Tibetan singing bowl to reflections on 12-step groups, SMART Recovery, faith-based programs, and the concept of recovery capital, Mitika highlights both practical approaches and the deeper dimensions of healing. This conversation also honors September as Recovery Month, a time to bring awareness, compassion, and hope to those touched by addiction or behavioral struggles.
