Part One List all of the things which are important for you to remember in recovery.

  • Nothing will happen overnight
  • Bad days are always followed by good ones
  • My dad gave me this one: "The sun is always above the clouds; just fly higher."
  • You can't do it alone, so let people help you
  • Life will never throw anything at me that I can't handle, nor more than I can handle

Ideas taken from other :fishy:

  • I am strong
  • There is dignity and value in recovery
  • Nothing changes if nothing changes
  • (This is probably the most important one that I should remember) Nobody is jealous of my ED, nobody admires me for having it. My friends want me to be healthy.

Part Two

    • Print out this list. Add suggestions from other's list that seem helpful to you as well....OR write the list on nice paper with a fancy pen/crayons/markers (whatever).
    • Get a cheap picture frame, or make one yourself. Frame the list and hang it in a special place where you will see it at least twice each day.
    • Make sure to read it daily!
