Recovery Quotes Quotes

“When you come out of the grips of a depression there is an incredible relief, but not one you feel allowed to celebrate. Instead, the feeling of victory is replaced with anxiety that it will happen again, and with shame and vulnerability when you see how your illness affected your family, your work, everything left untouched while you struggled to survive. We come back to life thinner, paler, weaker … but as survivors. Survivors who don’t get pats on the back from coworkers who congratulate them on making it. Survivors who wake to more work than before because their friends and family are exhausted from helping them fight a battle they may not even understand. I hope to one day see a sea of people all wearing silver ribbons as a sign that they understand the secret battle, and as a celebration of the victories made each day as we individually pull ourselves up out of our foxholes to see our scars heal, and to remember what the sun looks like.”
― Jenny Lawson, Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things

“The Root

Dear one,
It is totally conceivable to accept something
Yet still feel unable to ever recover from it
For acceptance, my love, is simply the flower,
Like a ray of hope through the hazy rain,
But the root that it sprouted from,
And the stem it grows upon, still remain”
― Christine Evangelou, Pieces: A Poetry Anthology

I am grateful for all I have been able to resolve internally, for the darkest moments, and for rising from every fall.
I am grateful for the beaten dragons.
I am grateful for the surviving child in me, for my strong wings, for the doors opening for me, and for the ones that closed behind me after teaching me what I needed to learn.”
― D.K. Sanz, Grateful to Be Alive: My Road to Recovery fom Addiction

“Even though I had been in recovery for nearly two years, I was still an addict and the denial in me was still strong. I could refuse to see something even when it was in front of my nose, and to give too much space to my concerns about Enver left me with a tight sensation in my chest that got in the way of my ability to exhale. It had taken me 29 years to find a love like this, and I wasn’t about to give it up for something that might not even happen. For the most part, I pushed my doubts to the back of my mind and even (subconsciously, I think) doubled my own recovery efforts as if that might ensure there was enough healing to share between the two of us. Recovery by proxy.”
― Sara-Jayne Makwala King, Mad Bad Love

― Brittany Burgunder

“Instagram is now a breeding ground for scammers on the search for unsuspecting users whom they will sell their game and flaunt their huge profits from cryptocurrency. I thought I’d struck a gold mine. I ended up messaging this broker and she went on this long spiel about Bitcoin mining and how it’s profitable, I gave it a long thought plus the strategy they used produced eye-watering returns of 50 percent per month. I was initially skeptical so a few months later I decided to invest and sent them $150 as a test, a month later I was sent back $50 along with another $30 of my profit. Shocked in disbelief I sent hundreds of dollars, then thousands, it didn't take long until I started telling friends and family who even sent more money. One of my best mates sold his car for $11,000 and put all that money in, and it disappeared. All up, my friends and I lost over $100,000 to this scam, which caused me immense stress and embarrassment plus some of my friends decided not to talk to me anymore. It was like my integrity just vanished suddenly, because I’d convinced my friends, I’d shown them my profits and I was actively promoting it, almost like a salesman for her. I tried to go to the police, who said we’d only lost $100,000. They know people who have lost millions, and this shattered every hope I had of recovering my money or tracing these criminals. I found Hackathon Tech Solution with the help of our new intern who referred me to give hackers a try, I’m really glad I listened. With the support of Hackathon Tech Solutions and my Assets recovered I was able to return to investing but only in Stocks now, I stayed away from cryptocurrencies after the scam experience. We often can’t avoid the negative patterns financially but if it’s a wrong investment at the hands of scammers Hackathon Tech Solution has you covered. Don’t hesitate to reach out to info@ hackathon tech solution . com, if you fall victim to this online Bitcoin or cryptocurrency scam.
