More Recovery Slogans Tips
Recovery slogans are deeply rooted in the real life experience of millions of recovering people. Although often overused and sometimes not appreciated, they do not lose their truth.
The following recovery slogans were suggested over time by DRA members who have found them useful in their personal dual recoveries. They are not part of DRA World Network approved literature, nor are they authored or copyrighted by DRA.
