self-sufficiently
Needing no assistance
In a manner that requires no outside help or support.
Someone who lives self-sufficiently grows their own food, generates their own power, and meets their own needs: They've been living self-sufficiently on the homestead for three years.
The word also applies to emotional independence: She handled the crisis self-sufficiently, without leaning on anyone.
