"We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are."
- Anaïs Nin
It all depends on how we look at things, and not how they are in themselves."
- Carl Jung
They say that alcholism or addiction is a disease of perception because alcholics or addicts take mind or mood altering substances to alter our perceptions. Recovery, sustained recovery, I believe is the ability to change our perceptions to exist in this world at peace, happiness and joy...and also in the face of tragedy, crisis, sadness, disappointment and failure. Recovery from a disease of perception is the ability to achieve a change in perception so as not resort self-defeating, self-destructive and self-limiting actions. Recovery is accepting that the bad stuff is the good stuff.
