Tip of the Day

Starting to feel better can be dangerous. When we begin to feel better we may make bad choices.

We take on more, even if what we're already involved in is not complete, because we have renewed energy and because once everything is not so gray we begin to see possibilities, which lead to more ideas.

We think we ARE better and will always be better so we don't have to take our medications or do any of the things we've been doing to GET better.

We take our eye off the ball.

Recovery is a process, and interrupting that process is counterproductive. Stay focused!
