Top 10 Recovery Quotes to Inspire Your Journey
Hey friends! I hope you all had a great New Year and welcome to 2024! I hope you're all staying strong and finding inspiration on your journey in recovery. Anyone out there participating in Dry January? I love a good quote to keep me motivated or on track, and there are a few popular ones that get thrown around a lot in recovery. Which ones have you heard? Do you have a recovery-related quote that you would like to share? Here are the top 10 recovery quotes that I tend to hear:
1. "One day at a time."
A good reminder to focus on the present moment and not get overwhelmed by the future. Take each day as it comes and celebrate your small victories along the way. My mom always used to say to me, "This too shall pass" and that kind of goes hand in hand with the above quote. You can get through anything, One Day At A Time.
2. "It's not about the destination, it's about the journey."
Recovery is a lifelong process, and it's important to enjoy the progress you're making. Embrace the ups and downs; it's all part of growth. Life is like a box of chocolates right?
3. "Your only limit is you."
This is good encouragement to just believe in yourself and your ability to overcome any obstacle. You have the strength within you to create a different life. So get out of your way already!
4. "Surround yourself with positive influences."
Another good reminder that the company you keep plays a significant role in your recovery. Surround yourself with people who uplift and support you on your journey. Plus, they are just more fun to be around, right?
5. "Progress, not perfection."
Recovery is not about being perfect but about making progress. Celebrate the small steps you take, as they add up to big changes over time. Challenge yourself to stick with it!
6. "Choose courage over comfort."
I know, stepping out of your comfort zone can be scary, but it's where growth happens. Embrace the discomfort and have the courage to face your fears. C'mon, take a leap of faith and see where you land.
7. "You are capable of more than you know."
Believe in your potential and push yourself to reach new heights. Challenge yourself. Reward yourself. The biggest thing that holds us back is that negative tape in our minds. Recognize it and change the conversation in your mind. PRONTO
8. "Gratitude turns what we have into enough."
This one is so important. Cultivate a mindset of gratitude, and you'll find that even the smallest blessings can bring immense joy. Focus on what you have, rather than what you're missing. And when you see someone doing well, celebrate that win with them instead of being jealous. It feels so much better to channel your energy like that.
9. "Self-care is not selfish."
It's important to prioritize your well-being and take time to nurture your mind, body, and soul. Remember, you can't pour from an empty cup. My wife runs a support group, and self-care is one of the initial steps that she has in her program at WellFed.love.
10. "You are not alone."
Reach out for support when you need it. There are people who understand what you're going through and are here to help. If you need someone to talk to, don't hesitate to reach out. Sometimes when you are right in the middle of a situation, it may feel like you are the only person in the world experiencing that, but I can assure you, you are not alone.
