My counselor simply said,
‘Everyday you dont drink, Your a winner’
Helps me with bad days, just thinking ’ I’m a fucking winner’.

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.
He who knows, does not speak. He who speaks, does not know.
Silence is a source of great strength.
To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders.
Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is Enlightenment.

That’s a good idea, I have a lot on my phone but not a journal to right them in. I find writing things down helps.
