Quotes & Inspiration 2 February 2026
It often takes hardship and pain to realise just what we are made of and realise how strong we can be. As hard as it is going through the journey to recovery, I have learned so much about myself that I didn't know. I always thought I was a strong person, but I have realised that I am strong in ways I had no idea.
I had courage to stand up for myself and control my emotions better. I have a better understanding of what I want from my life and now have a wonderful husband who loves me for me.
I have found the courage to reach out to bring awareness and try help others through this blog when I have always kept to the background as I don't normally like bringing attention to myself.
It takes tremendous strength to keep getting up and being gentle on yourself when the bad days keep coming but then a good day comes and it's all worthwhile having persevered.
I have also realised how fortunate I am to have such a wonderful support team around me as not everyone has this luxury. It is not something I now take for granted and I do thank my team constantly; I would be lost without them all. They know who they are. I am definitely not alone on my journey. *
