#recovery quotes
As my grandma was slowly dying in the hospital, she said:
“Make sure you keep your humour till the bitter end. Because once you loose that, you’ve lost it all.”
-A.d.c
“When you’re an addict, if you can imagine life without drugs, it just seems to you like this boring, endless, pleasureless expanse. This desert. But freedom from that grind, freedom from that depression, that despair is like a high every day for me, to be honest. And then it just opens the door to all the ordinary pleasures of life.”
-Michael Clune, author of White Out: The Secret Life of Heroin, in an interview on sobriety
“Who I am has little to do with addiction and recovery. Who I am isn’t the first thing I need to know to get better, it’s maybe the last thing.”
-Michael Clune, from White Out: The Secret Life of Heroin
“One of the hardest parts of changing for the better is that sometimes, the effects your past wrongful actions can resurface.
May you refuse to let the past deter you in your journey of becoming a better you."❤
“You overindulge because you’ve deprived yourself for so long. But you are strong. You can control yourself. It will be difficult, but not impossible.”
“If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete.”— Buddha
