Take What You Like and Leave the Rest”

Peer support can provide a safe place to feel heard and express views. [4] This allows for people to share their journey of a common goal towards sobriety. However, it is beneficial to remember that not everything said in a peer support setting is an absolute truth. If a person is new to the process of peer support techniques for recovery, it can be difficult to traverse through all the information provided, both factual and based on opinion.

This quote is meant to remind those in recovery that they don’t have to accept everything they hear. Naturally, not everything will apply to everyone. What matters most is the willingness to be open to the process while knowing you can leave behind what you feel won’t be beneficial to your unique situation.
