I love Alice in Wonderland. When I was doing a counselling course I used a notebook with Alice quotes for my reflective journal. Dark sense of humour? Perhaps but it made me smile.
I'm considering an Alice tattoo. Maybe “I can't go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.”

Cheshire Puss,” [Alice] began . . . “Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?”
“That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the Cat.
“I don’t much care where—” said Alice.
“Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,” said the Cat.
“—so long as I get somewhere,” Alice added as an explanation.
“Oh, you’re sure to do that,” said the Cat, “if you only walk long enough.”
So true of sobriety. Abstinance is the only path but we have to exhaust all other paths and will walk a very long way to get to the only destination

"You may wonder, 'How can I leave it all behind if I am just coming back to it? How can I make a new beginning if I simply return to the old?' The answer lies in the return. You will not come back to the 'same old thing.' What you return to has changed because you have changed. Your perceptions will be altered. You will not incorporate into the same body, status, or world you left behind. The river has been flowing while you were gone. Now it does not look like the same river." - The Book of the Vision Quest, Steven Foster
