 I have to admit, I'm a sucker for really, really good and profound recovery-related quotes that convey deep philosophy and colorful inspiration.  This will be my virtual collection of quotes; I don't even care if you want to say that I'm a cornball!  (But if you have a good quote, feel free to post it here!!  )

"It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop." -Confucius

"The goal isn’t to be sober. The goal is to love yourself so much that you don’t need to drink."

"I am not defined by my relapses, but by my decision to remain in recovery despite them."
