Hey, this is my first time posting anything on here... so fingers crossed.

I am pending a drug court graduation on Feb. 26th. I have two years clean. Anyway, my PO wanted me to get some good recovery quotes... and I figured, I could ask around, and find some favorite quotes of fellow addicts.. that way, hopefully, graduation won't be as boring.

Thanks for any input / help!!!

I LOVE that one!! I plan on using that somewhere...

"It doesn't get easier, it gets better."

"If nothing changes then nothing changes"

"We Do Recover"

One is too many and a million is not enough.

My personal fav refering to Oxycontin. I believe it applies to many others too.
