Encouraging quotes that see me through...
I would wish addiction's experiences on no one, yet its perspective on everyone.
I'm a quote guy. I read them and write them down to ponder later. Sometimes I come up with my own entirely. Other times I tweak someone else's (like the one above). Go ahead and share your own. Sixty days today, if I did the math right.

"When your pain is worse than your fear, you will change"
I have made many changes in my life over the years, simply by asking myself "Is the pain of my situation, worse than my fear of change?"
I have left jobs, relationships, situations etc. all by realizing, that my pain of dealing with it was worse than my fear of change. (that is harder to realize than you might imagine)
Of course my signature line is also a favorite, no is perfect, we all have a chance at a better life.

Live in accordance with the nature of things
Build your house on solid ground
Keep your mind still
When giving, be kind
When speaking, be truthful
When ruling, be just
When working, be one-pointed
When acting, remember – timing is everything
Lau Tzu

From a sober YouTuber that I listened to in the first few weeks of my recovery. Sounds trite but it had a huge impact on me. One year, eight months.
