Often times on my way home from work I think of inspirational quotes that I try and live my life by. Some of them are recovery based as I am a recovering alcoholic and drug addict.

Here are a few that mean a lot to me.

Do you have any that you like? Feel free to add them.

Find what makes your heart sing and start a choir.
