Since there are times we all could use some inspiration in our badass sober lives, (let’s be real, someday/sometimes are tougher than others) I thought I’d throw some motivational sober life quotes together!
NOTE: this is not a replacement for doing what you’ve been shown to do when you’re needing help. Use YOUR tools for your sobriety and follow your system…
