“It will be challenging.
It will also be worth it.
You will relapse, and that’s ok.
(as long as you keep fighting.)
You may feel alone in your struggle.
You will help others who are struggling.
Your love one may not understand, but you can always explain.
You will have good days, and bad days, but the bad days will get fewer.
Your problems won’t magically go away, but they will be manageable.
You might not feel different at first, but when you are done you will be
HAPPIER, HEALTHIER, STRONGER and RECOVERED.
That’s why you have to keep fighting.”
