Some wisdom for you all
 
Any time in recovery is time well spent. Just because you slipped up doesn’t me that you failed. Slip ups make you stronger. That’s right slip ups make you stronger.

Every time you fall you have a choice to stand up and brush yourself off or lay there in self pity. You get stronger every time you stand up again. After a few (or many) falls you will finally have the strength to recover. No one walks on their first try and no one recovers on their first try.


It takes babies a long time and a lot of practice to walk. A day or even a week is like first trying to crawl. Many of us here on RYL fell then. A month is like finally crawling.

Three months is like taking that first step. Slipping up after that is like the first big fall. At about 6 months you can walk on your own. The more you can walk the harder the falls. Also remember guys even adults fall. Don’t get discouraged.

Thank you for writing this :3
It's very inspiring and something i think

fall down on the road to recovery.

Thank you again xxx
