Having a rough day. My addiction has done its damage

Recovery
#21

I can not remember a day since changing my ways that I did not get down at least a little thanks to those 'demons'.

Some days they kept me in bed as their prisoner.

Those days passed too.

Going back to my old ways is only a temporary solution that will lead to death, insanity or prison (or some combination of these three).

So, when I am up early enough to enjoy a morning coffee with the sunrise, I am grateful.

Other days are much better.

Trying new things with new people in new places with an infinite amount of serenity.

Knowing regardless of what comes my way this too shall pass.

CC, absolutely no one is immune from periodic effects of our past.
"IDC" what some BB thumpers say. If your being real than we have real feelings, and sometimes even after 12 yrs in recovery I still have mixed emotions

Please don’t refer to Christ followers as Bible thumpers. That is just rude & unnecessary. And it hurts. Hurt & judgment should not be a part of this platform. Read the room.

Yes, exactly. I’m so lucky to have support in my recovery.
