“Let us not forget who we are. Drug abuse is a repudiation of everything America is.”
Ronald Reagan
“There are always going to be obstacles, and that's true in the healing journey too. But we can tear down the walls of those obstacles and get through it. It's essential for our well being and taking back the control in our lives. Never give up!”
Cathy Gipson
“Becoming empowered and beginning to talk and take back control is a scary thing....very scary. Those that want to keep us down are afraid of that too. But, becoming empowered is necessary.... People couldn't shut me up now if their life depended on it....”
“No matter how dark it feels there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Even if you can't see it, it's there.”
“Strength comes when fears are faced. When we face the wounds and fears of what has happened, the healing can begin. It no longer holds us prisoner in our own lives. We can't be afraid to have courage.”
“We can't control what happened, we can't control what has been lost. What we can control is how we fight to take that control back, and the voice within us is powerful in doing so....”
“Facing the fear in order to heal is so much more important than the fear itself. The fear will fade in time and you will become stronger than you ever imagined.”
