Just something that I thought of the other day that I wanted to share with everyone on the journey to recovery.. 
"I am like a vase. A vase that is filled with fresh flowers each and every day. But, each time the vase is filled with water to keep the flowers alive, the water seeps through the tiny cracks that are invincible for most to see, and the flowers die."
The moral of this statement is that each time we fill ourselves with alcohol or drugs, we are still left unfulfilled and we miss all of the opportunities we are given each day (flowers). Search for the glue to fill the cracks, not the water that is only going to last for a short period of time.
