One article I recommend reading is not an article but information on the Substance Abuse and Mental Health website: https://www.samhsa.gov/find-help/recovery

It says  that these are the guiding principles to recovery and rebuilding our lives:

"Guiding Principles

Hope, the belief that these challenges and conditions can be overcome, is the foundation of recovery. A person’s recovery is built on his or her strengths, talents, coping abilities, resources, and inherent values. It is holistic, addresses the whole person and their community, and is supported by peers, friends, and family members.


The process of recovery is highly personal and occurs via many pathways. It may include clinical treatment, medications, faith-based approaches, peer support, family support, self-care, and other approaches. Recovery is characterized by continual growth and improvement in one’s health and wellness and managing setbacks. Because setbacks are a natural part of life, resilience becomes a key component of recovery.


The Four Major Dimensions of Recovery:


Health - Overcoming or managing one’s disease(s) or symptoms - for example, abstaining from use of alcohol, illicit drugs, and non-prescribed medication if one has an addiction problem- and for everyone in recovery making informed, healthy choices that support physical and emotional well-being


Home - Having a stable and safe place to live


Purpose - Conducting meaningful daily activities, such as a job, school volunteerism, family caretaking, or creative endeavors, and the independence, income, and resources to participate in society


Community - Having relationships and social networks that provide support, friendship, love, and hope"

Well it’s not just one article but any information you get, articles or otherwise, on self care, standing up for yourself when you feel the need to, prioritizing yourself without regret or guilt, never giving up no matter what, and other things like that

I would recommend James Clear's "The Beginner’s Guide to Continuous Self-Improvement"  https://jamesclear.com/self-improvement which is in itself a kind of masterpost to Self-Improvement resources, from James Clear himself, and his "Atomic Habits" to Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius.

@HealingTalk Re Epictetus etc. - Stoicism is an excellent philosophy. Like any philosophy it shouldn't be carried too far, but as a way of life Stoicism has much to recommend it.

Yes, I agree!

Epictetus in particular was a great thinker, with deep insights that helped improve the lives of millions. Like, focus on what you can control, don't worry so much about what you can't.

Ideas popularized by many writers, like Stephen Covey, and present in all teachings about managing anxiety and living a meaningful life.

A great contribution!

For Americans: How Long Can the Fed...


It's one of the better articles on our debt crisis that I've seen lately. Considering that most of us live & work within our nation's borders & economy, this is something you ought to read. It might also be somewhat important for foreigners here, depending on what country you live in. (Some are more deeply connected to America than others)
