The document outlines 5 phases of recovery after returning home from treatment: 1) Change agreements work both ways, expectations need adjusting on both sides. 2) Excitement about being cured quickly turns to questioning when life isn't perfect. 3) A daily routine of meetings, work/school, sponsors, and service helps adjustment. 4) Cooperating with a higher power, setting reasonable goals, and accepting what can't be changed aids progress. 5) Turning complaints into gratitude and accepting what can't be changed leads to final acceptance.
