One that I really like is:

The one with my signature is also one that I really like:

“What progress, you ask, have I made? I have begun to be a friend to myself.”

There is no drink or a drug that can make life meaningful.

I was still pretty new to this site and recovery; this one stuck with me: (I believe it was Incontrol15 who said) "Today sucks, tomorrow will suck, but tomorrow will suck more if you drink today"

Some pretty awesome quotes here. I really do think these are inspiring to us all. Just a few words summed together makes a difference.

"Acknowledge the problem, live in the solution" has been a favorite of mine since day one. I'm not sure where it came from, or who said it, but it means a lot to me. Not just in my sobriety, but with everything in my life. If there is a problem, we fix it. End of story.

Read this one here on SR:

“My sobriety has to be number one because without it I don't have anything else”

The Serenity Prayer seems to apply to almost every situation in my sober life.

"Addiction is the only prison where the key to get out is on the inside".

I keep a folder full of quotes (so much gold here!) from SR and this is one of them.

Great thread, heaven !
