What's a quote that helps you through the hard days?
Share a quote with me. I want to know what pulls you through the hard days if you are in recovery,or what makes you feel you have the strength to recover. Everyone has something different that gives them strength and power to take control of their lives. What's yours?
You dont get over an addiction by stopping using. You recover by creating a new life where it is easier to not use. If you dont create a new life, then all the factors that brought you to your addiction will catch up with you again.

@ChassyMom Thanks for starting this remarkable thread! Nice quote too; it definitely embodies addiction and how perserverance is vital. 
@ChassyMom I'll share one of my favorite quotes^^
"The mystery of who's story it will be. Of who draws the curtain. Who is it that chooses our steps in the dance? Who drives us mad, lashes us with whips and crowns us with victory when we survive the impossible? Who is it that does all these things? Who honours those we love with the very life we live? Who sends monsters to kill us and at the same time sings that we will never die?
Who teaches us whats real and how to laugh at lies? Who decides why we live and what we'll die to defend? Who chains us? And who holds the key that can set us free?
It's you.
You have all the weapons you need.
Now fight."
@HereComesTheSun7. Ohh....goose bumps...thank you so much!
"once you hit rock bottom the only way to go is up" that's one that I always remind myself

Feelings are not facts. -- This remindes me that everyone takes situsations differently and I need to step out and rethink the event.

This is a brilliant one! Thank you!
This one's from J.K Rowling and I think it's comforting and empowering in so many ways :
"Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life."

Be good, if it all fails, eat chocolate.
I see humor in my everyday downfalls. Sometimes all I need is to sit and just have a moment to myself. *while eating chocolate.
@Jackie so nice
