Quote #1

“Alcoholics and all types of addicts may seem apathetic to the problems they are causing. Be aware that they are relying on an innate defense mechanism, that being denial.” (Anonymous)

Quote #2 

Addicts of all types and close relationships rarely work out well because addicts tend to live in a constant state of resentment and blame, leaning towards lives filled with selfishness and self-centeredness, where their ability to be intimate is greatly compromised, where feelings such as jealously and resentment are typically magnified, where financial problems pile up more than not, and where their fingers point outward more than inward at what’s wrong in their lives.” (Anonymous)

Quote #3

“It’s not that some people have better willpower than others to overcome an addiction, it’s simply that some people have finally become FULLY ready to change, where others have not.” (Anonymous)

Bonus Quote

“Recovery from any addiction is far more than just stopping drinking or using whatever substance one is addicted to. It’s an ongoing process of growing and healing – mentally, emotionally, physically, and especially spiritually.” (Anonymous)

Quote #1

“My dear heart, never think you are better than others. Listen to their sorrows with compassion. If you want peace, don’t harbor bad thoughts. Do no gossip and don’t teach what you do not know.” (Rumi)

Quote #2

“You seldom help others by pointing out their faults, however, you always lift others by pointing out how much they matter” (Unknown)

Quote #3

“The sharpest critics and those most known for pointing out flaws or weaknesses in others, are most often the ones who are blind to their own shortcomings, insecurities, and mistakes. It’s best to take a mirror and examine oneself, before riding a self-righteous high horse, accusing others of what you think they do wrong.” (Jonathan Harnisch)

Bonus Quote

“As soon as you think you know someone else’s truth better than they do, you are in deep water.” (Martha Beck)

Quote #1

“Some days are like this. And the only way to get through them is to remember that they are only one day, and that every day ends.” (David Leviathan)

Quote #2

“This too, shall pass. When things are bad, remember, it won’t always be this way. Take one day at a time. When things are good, remember, it won’t always be this way. Enjoy every great moment.” (Doe Zantamata)

Quote #3

“Breathe. You’re going to be okay. Breathe and remember that you’ve been this uncomfortable before and anxious and scared, and you’ve survived. Breathe and know that you can survive this too. These feelings can’t break you. They’re painful and debilitating, but you can sit with them and eventually, they will pass. Maybe not immediately, but sometime soon, they are going to fade and when they do, you’ll look back at this moment and laugh for having doubted your resilience. I know it feels unbearable right now, but keep breathing, again and again. This will pass. I promise it will pass.” (Daniell Koepke)

Bonus Quote

“Anyone can give up; it’s the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone would expect you to fall apart, that’s true strength.” (Chris Bradford)
