2. What would suck would be NOT restarting it, because you gave up on sobriety.

THIS is a victory.

We learn more each time.

And we can't lose, unless we give up.

ONE

DAY

AT

A

TIME

That's all you have to focus on. Just today.

Hang in there. You're not alone.

admiringly,

10. Better to restart 100 times than to not start at all. Good vibes for success.

11. That you are restarting gives me hope

that you are allowing yourself the opportunity to move forward and by creating that opportunity, the possibility exists for success. One day at a time. I know you can do this…..one day at a time.

12. Never give up. Best advice my Dad ever gave me.

Can’t dwell on it. We may fall down on our faces occasionally, but at least we are moving forward.

13. Don't Give Up..Ever. We all make mistakes. That is why they put erasers on pencils. Is that true?

Also there is a backward key on the computer that I am using now. All I have to do is back up the brouser, and it
automatically erases the words I have just typed in...But one thing is................................................
................................................................................I get to press the ...."Check Spelling" key below to check
spelling, and sometimes I really don't want to do it so that is it.........................
................ so we even make more mistakes on the cumputr....................
................ I would never do that................................................

...............................absolutely NEVER.......AND NEVER .... ...AND NEVER.......................................

....................AND NEVER!!!!.........neYer any misstakess.........................................

15. Congrats and good luck

I have this pet theory that the reason for the words “To Thine Own Self Be True” on recovery coins is because a relapse usually is what happens after we believe our own lies to ourselves.

That being the case, I’d probably put a high priority on identifying what lies I had been telling myself, and refuting them completely so I wouldn’t fall for the same BS in the future.

Of course there’s no guarantee I wouldn’t come up with some new lies, but at least maybe I’d be more mindful of the fact that they might also be BS.

16. Look at it this way...

You're on a trip driving from NYC to L.A. and you get a flat in St. Louis. You don't go back to NYC and start over, you pick up where you had some trouble, fix the flat, and continue on your way. Life is like that. You've had valuable experiences along the way. You're continuing the journey, not starting over.

17. Please Don't Ever Give Up. We all make mistakes. We often come back stronger. Don't Give Up..Please
