Thoughts from Natalie:

  • Recovery is a continuous process.

  • We tend to be perfectionist which makes us our own victims.

  • Check yourself before you wreck yourself.

  • Be a good friend to yourself.

  • When you are in recovery, you feel isolated and alone.

  • Having other people know my story keeps me accountable.

  • We are not the only people dealing with what we deal with.

  • You do not have to be an “addict” in order to have moments to check yourself.

  • It is not a snobby disease.

  • Say it out loud to know that you can deal with it.
