"Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorius triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat. "
-Theodore Roosevelt
My last relapse with great regret, fear, beating myself up I found this quote and I was able to hang on and clean up again, we all need a little something to pick us up and make us ok with even what seems wrong, don't beat yurself up, pick yurself up, put that fire under your ass and do the right thing..
Good quote! I once heard, that it is better to have tried and failed than to not have tried at all and succeeded at nothing.
"Keep coming back" is the only thing I did right in the early days. I just kept coming back, then one day the message of NA washed over me and I stayed.
A group of men pulled me in under their wings and told me that my ass was on fire and they could not do a gentle, take your time, easy does it triage with me. I was on death's door step. They hosed me down with unconditional love, the 12 steps and a fellowship that helped put all the flames out in my life. One day at a time.
