I am always grateful for:
-Being blessed with second chances. (More like thousands)
-Having a huge support system who loves me unconditionally. They never gave up on me even when I have given up on myself. They go above and beyond to ensure that I am safe and protected but they do not enable me which is crucial to my well-being. They are part of my motivation on staying clean - they deserve to live in peace after all the pain and worry I have already put them through.
-My boyfriend.👩🏻❤️👨🏻
He never fails to amaze me with how hard he works not only at his job, but with his fight to live a better life. I am so grateful for how patient he is with me when I am going through rough periods due to my mental health. He not only says he loves me, but he proves it with actions every single day. He is a keeper.
-My four kitties.🐈⬛🐱
They always bring me smiles and never fail to make me laugh with their silliness. They all have such unique personalities.
-My sponsor
She has such a loud, bright, and one of a kind personality! I love the fact that she does not ever hesitate to call me out on my bullshit. She helps hold me accountable and she takes my recovery just as seriously as hers. She genuinely wants to help but she makes it known that it is up to me to do the work and that nobody can hold my hand forever.
-Memories
I will forever cherish my memories.
I rewind to my ugly, sad, and awful memories often because they help remind me of why I am trying so hard to better myself and to grow into my highest form. Rewinding to them also helps me guage how well I am progressing. You have to take the good with the bad. There would be no such thing as light without darkness. Yin & yang. I cherish the ugly just as much as I cherish the good.
