Anyone out there who is struggling right now and believes they can't do this. That sobriety is so hard and that it's going to be impossible. Do me a favor and STOP. Find a mirror, a puddle, or anything that will show your reflection and tell yourself this, "I am beautiful person, strong, brave, and even though it will be tough I believe in myself and know I can do this. I will throw my pride away and not believe the lies I tell myself. Which are no one cares and I am all alone. I am not alone and someone out there cares about me and my sobriety. I know this will be hard but anything good in life doesn't come easy and that includes sobriety. One day I will look back at this moment and say I am so proud of myself for making this beautiful life changing decision. That I will be able to help someone like myself who doesn't believe they can do it too. I will show them that they can through my story and let them know it is possible. I love you (your name) and am so proud of you and will not count the times I fall but the times I get up. Because that's all that matters." Now go out and make a difference because I believe in you and know you have the strength to do this. We are not built for failure so own the day and don't let it own you. I love you (name of person reading this) and believe you can do this.
