15 New & Improved "Favorite Recovery Tweets" (with a few links)


(in alphabetical order, not in order by favorites [BTW, my favorites are 4, 10 & 12].)

2) Alcohol took over the desire for all else, including the desire to stop.

3) The art in concentration camps was produced despite the facts, not because of them. So, too, what I wrote when drunk. Despite addiction.

4) By The Time I Had A Reason To Quit Drinking, Reason No Longer Had Anything To Do With It.
