I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been given a no. Only to find that a better, brighter, bigger yes was right around the corner.” — Arlan Hamilton

Hey AINYF Community,

I love this quote by Arlan Hamilton (Arlan) because it just demonstrates the power of resiliency and believing in one’s self.

For anyone who knows Arlan’s story, she is a prime example of someone who says “why the f*ck not?” and then refused to let any of the naysayers and those who doubted her stand in her way.

Often in life, we have doors shut in our face time and time again.

The question is, are we going to allow these doors to stop us from continuing to pursue our dream or are we going to continue to press on and believe in ourselves and what we want to accomplish?

On the journey to alcohol-consciousness, there may be setbacks in which you stumble or relapse.

This isn’t the end of the world by any means.

It’s just another chance for us to get right back on the horse and prove to ourselves we have what it takes to build the version of ourselves that we desire.

When things don’t go our way, having a glass half-full mentality can make all the difference to allow us to turn those lemons into lemonade and keep pushing forward on our journey.

One door closed is another door opened somewhere else that can offer amazing results.

Keep looking for that open door with your reward on the other side.

AINYF TOP CONTENT OF THE WEEK

As always, we had a lot of great articles this week submitted by our group of talented contributors and writers on Medium in general.

This week’s top articles are:

Nancy Wilson — Can’t Sleep Without Alcohol? Here’s What You Need to Know (As someone who struggled with sleep for so long and had NO realization it was related to my relationship with alcohol, I appreciated this article by Nancy outlining the connection and giving the reader tips on how they can develop a healthy sleep routine to change everything.)

Simon Theakston — I Used to Read Books But Never Retained Information. Here’s What I Changed (I believe in the power of reading with everything inside of me, so I enjoyed this article by Simon showing how one can level-up their reading experience and get EVEN MORE out of this important daily practice.)

Most writers love reading comments, so please let the authors know what you think and give them some 👏 love (up to 50) if you can.
