Addiction & Recovery
Related: About this forumIt is time to repeat this simple 4 word sentence...."Don't Ever Give Up."
You would think it would be become easy over time.
Instead, It gets harder over time. Why?
Because ...Not Giving Up Requires Lots of Effort.
Some days we do not have that ...."EFFORT."
WHY LACK OF EFFORT?
Sometimes we do not have the strength to fight on and on.
Sometimes we get older in life and don't have the strength.
Other reasons for not having strength to fight are numerous.
........IT'S JUST SIMPLE....Don't Ever Give Up..............
