What does recovery from SZ mean to you?

Recovery to me means maybe one day being financially independent with myself. Maybe developing a relationship with a significant other. Having my positive and negative symptoms reduced about 25% more than what they are now. What would anybody here consider recovery for them from their present situation with schizophrenia?

The symptoms are less intense. I can relax and not worry every minute about holding on to my sanity. I could do a lot more but for now I’m content spending a lot of time alone in my apartment.
