Recovery Quote by Anonymous
““Sharing our stories, our feelings, it is the area where we are the same that impresses me. The differences are but delightful flourishes on the surface, like different-colored costumes, and I enjoy them. But the basic ways we are human, the basic ways we simply are, stand out to me now. I came to see we are all really one, and I no longer feel alone””
