Addiction recovery is a long, hard road and we can all use a little inspiration and motivation at times. Sometimes a simple quote is all it takes to reset your negative thoughts, lift your spirits, and keep you on the recovery path. Inspiration quotes can also help you feel less isolated, as they’re great reminders that you’re not alone in your addiction battle.
Here are a few of our favorites – some about addiction and others about hope and gratitude – all of which can help you get out of a rut or reignite your fighting spirit.
Go ahead and print out the ones you like best and tape them where you'll be sure to see them: on the fridge, your mirror, by your computer.
