Taking Small Steps

“Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.”

“Recovery is not one and done. It is a lifelong journey that takes place one day, one step at a time.”

“You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”

“Be patient with yourself. Self-growth is tender; it's holy ground. There's no greater investment.”

“Your present circumstances don't determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start.”

“Every day may not be good, but there is something good in every day.”

“Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow.'”

“You are allowed to measure today in breaths instead of milestones. A small light is still enough to interrupt the dark.”

“Getting through the next ten minutes is still getting through. Hope can return quietly before it returns fully.”
