I am feeling good today! I showed up to both classes for Intensive Outpatient, I talked to 3 alcoholic friends, checked in with my sponsor, went to a phenomenal meeting where I shared and took my 90 day chip, I colored, I prayed today too! I showered… oh gosh I share this though because it isn’t like this everyday. Maybe some of you will understand, or it may be something we need to hear as recovering addicts.
There are days when I do none of the above, when I can’t get out of bed even if it’s to use the restroom. There are weeks where I barely shower, comb my hair, or brush my teeth. Other times, I’m numb and don’t talk much… or do zoom meetings instead of showing up in person. Also, I find that I isolate and binge eat in my dark room or I’ll cancel all plans for the day and stay in my pjs. Recovery and Sobriety are not always going to be all shxts and giggles, so I’m grateful for today.. blessed to be alive and sober. This is the process of recovery, i have faith that i will love and treat myself better, I believe that my alcoholism can be treated.
Let’s stay strong, fight the urges, cravings, and triggers… b/c THOSE are the things we CAN control. You can do this!!
