Recent edit remorse

Reading the version of the article on Recovery Canada paragraph five says: "The group was originally called Recovery, Inc. and is now called Recovery International. It is a non-profit organization founded in the United States in 1937 by psychiatrist Abraham Low."[1] I originally read the article there, and then looked for the London Free Press version to link to, in the article the paragraph reads: "The group is Recovery Inc., a non-profit organization founded in the United States in 1937 by psychiatrist Abraham Low."[2]

So, I'm debating whether or not to undo this: [3]. -- Scarpy (talk) 08:24, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Program v. Methods v. Process v. Techniques, etc.

Thinking about this, "method" seems like it could be a confusing to use anywhere in this article since there is a clear definition of the Recovery Method. Not sure if anyone is watching the changes I'm making, but it seems like a good idea to use consistent language looking at wiktionary:program, wiktionary:process, wiktionary:technique, wiktionary:concept, wiktionary:principle... Hmm... -- Scarpy (talk) 01:08, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Non-Profit?

It seems as though recovery-inc.org no longer exists and is recovery-inc.com now. Does this mean that it has lost its non-profit status?Desoto10 (talk) 21:02, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

I had no problem accessing recovery-inc.org today. Perhaps it was down? Themarbleballoon 16:49, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
I can get to recovery-inc.org as well. Might have been a server issue or a DNS hiccup. The .org TLD is generally for non-profits and things of that nature, but there's no requirement that organizations with a .org website actually be one. You might want to check with one of the non-profit clearing houses in Chicago [4] [5] to see if they know anything about a status change. -- Scarpy (talk) 17:11, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Shirley Sachs 1997

I'm not sure what's happened organizationally with Recovery International and Abraham Low Self-Help Systems in the last few years, but the Abraham Low Self-Help Systems side of things seems to be defunct. The downside is their site used to have a great page with links to a lot of peer-reviewed research that was hard to find. Other places (e.g. everything linked from http://lowselfhelpsystems.org/professionals/journal-articles-and-professional-interviews-detail.asp @Cyberbot II: was trying to recover those links, but the only non-redirects version on archive.org goes to a "coming soon" page, that I believe is from when the URL was either lost or sold.

I was able to dig up a PMID and journal link for the Marsha Snyder 2000 article, but the Shirley Sachs one is proving difficult. While it's been cited at least four times in other journals [6] it looks like the journal it was published is rare, only a few libraries hold copies of it. [7].

I know I saved a lot of the PDFs from when I was writing this article. I'll see if I can dig it up and see if there's anything else we can go on from it. - Scarpy (talk) 19:14, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

IP Comment in article

User:68.194.178.36 Made this edit to the article with this text: As a long time member of Recovery Meetings, my impression is that the practicing patient is able to blank out the negative connections in the brain, and establish new habits of reaction to imaginary thoughts, by forming new connections in the brain which are reinforced by the disciplined practice of the Recovery method. As the complications of the brain are mostly unknown, I became aware of my failure to securely process thoughts and impulses. My Recovery practice retrained my brain to think securely. I was able eventually after 5 years of meetings 4 times a week, to intuitively deal with my thoughts and impulses with calm and secure results. When the suggestion of fear or anger is produced from my imagination, I am able to terminate the fright and flight reaction. By termination of the "working up process", suggested fears and angers are terminated simply as "an outpouring of a nervous imbalance". My life has completely changed enabling me to have a very happy marriage, family and productive professional career. When reflecting on the history of my disorder, I observe the failure of ignorance of my parents, as they did not understand the function of the developing brain. As a youngster, the education and religious institutions reinforced negative thinking through severe negative crisis intervention, rather than encouraging development and training. That being as it may. Most of us have to pick up the pieces later on in life as we have difficulty coping. Falling upon Recovery training has been one of the many great blessings to fall upon me.

I'm undoing it, but just wanted to have a record. - Scarpy (talk) 22:42, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
