Good news quotes of the week at HRC:
“I really wanted to use (relapse after 4 months sober), but we went and got cheddar puffs instead.”
“We got into our new apartment!”
“He (her partner) has been trying really hard and has been doing a lot better. I’m proud of him.”
“I haven’t used crack or anything else in 3 months.”
“This is my community where I feel safe.”
There’s a lot of hard and sad and frustration and mad. But there’s also effort and joy and resilience and hope.
It’s a good practice to pause and write down the good moments, so we can remind each other on the hard days. We’re grateful to be in community with each other.
If you are the praying type, please say a prayer for each of these people who are navigating it all daily.
