In a funk…

So much happening right now. I can’t even begin to explain it all. So I won’t. So overwhelmed and sad. I just know I need to reach out someway.. This is the best I can do with reaching out today. Still clean and sober though. 71 days by the grace of God.

Congratulations on 71 days. I think that is a huge milestone. You're coming up on three months that's amazing. Sometimes we have to pat ourselves on the back and learn to become our biggest supporters. Think of all the things you're grateful for and focus on those cause gratitude does change the attitude. Stay strong you got this.

We all get into emotional and mental distress. We are NOT immune just because we are in recovery. The daily stress and struggle is real. The world won't stop just because I'm having a Bad Sad day. You're right though be grateful and accountable for your personal relationship with others and you will never regret investing yourself into your recovery.

Creatures are well...emotional creatures..anything living that has the ability to maybe to might just stress out Whether that be running late or running from a t rex. It is okay to feel what you need to and let it out because we get so wrapped up in our realities. Remember in a 100 years it is going to be okay.=)

When an urge to use interacts with your stress management or poor outside influence, a great reminder is just a simple check with your sobriety counter and say to yourself, "hey I made it this far, I can go further, I'm worth it"

71 days ...and counting! Keep at it and maybe journal all of the yuck and muck in the brain...just let it out and maybe you will find that you feel a little better. We are here. Be where you are. Stay steady and sober. You got this!

Jenna, 71 is huge!:dancer:. Early sobriety is definitely a bumpy ride, but you can get through this! Lots of meetings, doing the 12 steps with a sponsor really helped me​:pray:. The more I did the better and easier life became.
I’m here if you have any questions

You got this one lil thing that you can change as of right now don't worry about the rest till after the first task is done
