It is easier to stay out than get out.

I am prepared for the worst, but hope for the best.

You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.

However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. Where there’s life, there’s hope.

It is because of hope that you suffer. It is through hope that you’ll change things.

Neither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should life rest on a single hope.

Hope arouses, as nothing else can arouse, a passion for the possible.

Hope is not an emotion; it’s a way of thinking or a cognitive process.

May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears.

Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right.

I am not defined by my relapses, but in my decision to remain in recovery despite them.

Recovery is hard. Regret is harder.

It always seems impossible until it’s done.

I used drugs to feel better. I quit drugs to be better.

Recovery is about progression, not perfection.

Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail.

I don’t need drugs to make my life tragic.

Be stronger than your strongest excuse.

If things go wrong, don’t go with them.
