Inspirational Quotes for Recovering Drug Addicts

You are here: Home / Inspirational Quotes / Inspirational Quotes for Recovering Drug Addicts

As a struggling drug user, life can be tough. One of the hardest parts of recovery is the feeling of loneliness. It can be hard to remember that there are others like you who have faced the same struggle.Fortunately, there are many people who have survived the struggle. Many of them have gone on to work in the field of addiction recovery and have offered up some inspirational quotes for recovering drug addicts.

These quotes often summarize some of the most important key components of recovery, and keeping a list of them on hand can help you on your path to sobriety. When Lao Tzu said, “Great acts are made up of small deeds,” he may not have been referring specifically to addiction – but his quote remains relevant and important. Even the smallest step towards recovery can lead to powerful results.

Mindset
