Happiness is like a butterfly; the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder.Healing also means taking responsibility for the role you play in your own suffering.Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.Sometimes you’ve just got to give yourself what you wish somebody else would give you.Behind every strong person is a story that gave them no choice.Addiction is giving up everything for one thing. Recovery is giving up one thing for everything.Your wound is probably not your fault, but your healing is your responsibility.Recovery isn’t about learning the new, it’s about unlearning the old.It’s not the load that breaks you down, it’s the way you carry it.
