Practice: Regular practice is key, though it may be challenging initially. Remember, it's an essential step towards recovery, we and those around you are here to support you through the struggles.
Progress: Progress may happen at varying speeds, and sometimes it may seem like you're taking two steps forward and one step back - overcoming challenges is a sign that you are progressing.
