Hello guys just saying I’m having a hard time today

Hello guys just saying I’m having a hard time today I really need to get this off my chest I hate that when you are in such a great mood and positive then some things take it from you I really hate this feeling

Acceptance is the key

Ok it’s a long story

Sorry you're having a hard time today! There will be days that are hard, days that are simple, and days that are just days. One thing I heard in my early recovery was that only I am in charge of my mood, other people can't affect my mood. I did not believe, well of course other people can affect my mood, it didn't make sense to me! But now I get it, and I know that I am the only one who can affect me, how I think, how I feel, how I act or how I react to something. Sure other people MAY TRY to bring me down, affect me negatively, make my life difficult, but it is in my control on what I do when that happens, how I react, what I feel about that situation. Some things are definitely harder than others to handle or keep myself not affected, but I control this. No one else does! I am certainly not 100% when it comes to this, but I really get it now, remind myself of this, and do my best, stay in my lane and take care of my side of things :grin:

That is lifecwithout drugs or alcohol
