Courage (Weekly Recovery Reflection)

Courage isn’t the absence of fear—it’s the willingness to move forward despite it.

Quote

“Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, ‘I will try again tomorrow.’”
– Mary Anne Radmacher

My Thoughts

Courage is often misunderstood as bold, fearless action, but in recovery, it’s found in the small, quiet moments. It’s in admitting we need help, facing our fears, and showing up even when it’s hard. Courage isn’t the absence of fear—it’s the willingness to move forward despite it. Each day we choose recovery, we demonstrate courage, proving to ourselves that we are stronger than we think.
