We must be content to grow slowly. Most of us will still barely be at the beginning of our recovery by the time we die. But that is better than killing ourselves pretending to be healthy.

About This Quote

When people are recovering from an addiction, they must be patient with themselves. They must learn how to slow down their lives and be happy with the daily progress rather than rushing around at the speeds of the world. It’s not something that can be rushed or taken lightly if you want to recover fully. The greatest obstacle is the fear of looking back on life and seeing what you could have accomplished had you been patient with yourself.
