When the world says give up, hope whispers, try it one more time. Hope has the ability to heal those struggling with addiction. Hope allows addicts to face their challenges of life with a positive mindset. More importantly hope gives the desire for recovery to happen. Recovery can be filled with challenges, obstacles and frustration. The challenges of life plus hope will allow you to take control of your life and your future. Hope is the “thing” to help you remain on the right path for your long-term recovery. Hope is always there; it’s only a matter of opening up your ears. Open your ears and listen to the stories of hope. And open your mouth and to share your story to help others on their journey. Sharing your personal story with others won’t just help them, but will spread hope to yourself. When you find the direction in life it means you have hope. Accept and don’t deny hope. Use this hope to create a firm and happier future in your road to recovery. The road won’t be easy, but remember to open your ears to hear the whisper of hope.
