When entering a password, often if we are uncertain, or when we know we have made an error, we erase the whole thing, even though we cannot see whether we actually are right or wrong. For all we know, the password could be completely correct, but we erase it and start again, trying to get it perfect the next time.
In a way, this knowledge can be used on ourselves. When things begin to go wrong, or even when it feels like things are starting to go wrong, sometimes we choose to give up. This could be with anything; a friendship, art work, or even recovery.
Things are always going to go wrong, but that doesn't mean that you can give up. It's very rare for things to be right the first time, so persistence is needed to succeed.
Relating this back to recovery; you'll have good days, and bad days. At first, there will be more bad than good, but in time, and by not giving up, you'll have more good days. Don't waste all the good work you've done just because something goes wrong. You can't make an omelette without cracking a few eggs first.
