I once heard an old timer say, "It's great to have many years sober, but recovery is really about quality, not quantity." This really made me stop and think about what constitutes quality recovery. When we see someone who has the kind of recovery we want, what are the aspects of how that person lives life that makes their recovery attractive to us? I would love to hear what the rest of you think. -
So this isn’t directly related to recovery, but I just had coffee for the first time since being at Step Works. I had a latte with two whole double shots of espresso and I think I’m losing my mind -
GRATITUDE!!! I had no idea I’d get to come home and have baby VV 4 days a week ☺️♥️ my heart is so full!! -

Life is such a precious thing You are a miracle with every smile you bring yes the sun will rise and set, that is a blessing from above we all walk with hour glasses unsure of when we’ll go—so we love yes love is life and life is full of love life We make our own realities by being true to thine own self . so this is the way we strive to live Life is such a precious thing . It is all in your perspective. Michelle B. -
Got back from Arizona, plane was delayed, phone was stolen and other reasons to get upset, thanks to the principles I learned at Stepworks I stayed calm, made the flight and amazingly phone was returned to me by a user!!? Stayed calm, and now I can proudly look back and see how silly all the anxiety was!!! GOD GOT THIS Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. -

Finally enjoying the things I've took for granted over the years. And trying to enjoy the little things in life. -
With God's grace, his will not mine I will keep trudging,"One Day At A Time "I fell down, I relapsed, but I got back up..it's not how many times you fall down, it's how many times you get back up.

I'm sorry I can't remember don't judge me lol -
You see meth, I see fear. You see alcohol, I see social anxiety. You see track marks, I see depression. You see a Junkie, I see someone's son. You see a prostitute, I see someone's daughter caught in addiction. You see self-centeredness, I see addiction has taken over. You see a pill head, I see over prescribing of opiates. You see someone unwilling to change, I see someone hasn't connected with them yet. You see denial, I see someone hurting. You see someone nodding out, I see God showing us they need help. You see the end, I see the beginning. You see a dope fiend, I see a future success story. You see them, I see me. #shareyourpicture #endthestigma #Septemberisrecoverymonth #onedayatatime -
1 year and 8 months without a drink. Feeling very grateful today to have made it this far. The difference in my life and myself as a person is huge and I wouldn’t be here without Stepworks in London. I may not have stayed sober when I left, but it’s everything I learned during my time there that got me where I am today. I have no desire to touch alcohol again. The trials and tribulations I have faced in the last 20 months, and to have not picked up a drink, has shown me that I WILL make it. Thank you 🤍
