Abstinence Is Like Breathing

  • Everyone has to breathe to live, but breathing isn’t what you want to think about all the time nor is it a way to measure your success in life
  • People concentrate on their breath when they have a respiratory problem
  • People count their success in days abstinent when they are leaving the problems of the addiction lifestyle behind
