the substance may be gone, but there is still the obsession of the mind for me. and i’m not talking alcohol or drugs. i’m talking every little stinkin’ thing. so today’s theme for me is: IGNORE THE NEGATIVE INPUT and keep moving on!

Get it girl let go of negative influence. I’m positive today is going to be a beautiful day.
F***, yes!!! i am really loving having this loosid family. i remember hearing this in the rooms in early sobriety: “12 step meetings are the only place where a person could say ‘i robbed a 7-11 yesterday and then almost drank myself to death after pooping my pants and puking outside of an elementary school’ and still get hugs and feel welcomed.” i finally get what it means when someone says “i’m a grateful alcoholic/addict”, and part of that gratitude for me is for the recovery community… we have each others backs, we listen to and learn from one another, we are willing to be vulnerable, and we are also learning to laugh at ourselves for all the stupid stuff we did. like, one time i drove back by a Denny’s restaurant after a heavy night of drinking, and saw that the “bushes” in front of the dining room windows were not that tall at all, meaning that the customers in the whole dang place could see me peeing the night before
