Recovery Cliche Thread

[Aliendogstar]

Recovery has some of the best phrases, words of wisdom, cliches....whatever you want to call it. Some are overused and lose their original meaning....but don't let that happen. I've played the game with my sister as we are both in recovery. Let's see how many we can come up with as I know we've got some die hard recovery folks in here. I've been in recovery off and on for almost 20 years....so it will be interesting to see if there are some I haven't heard.
