Trying to stay focused on a new way of life without mind or mood altering substances is a great ordeal to begin with. Then, having life on lifes terms added to the mix can really prove to be even more difficult. Sometimes, there seems to be no end in sight and no blessings that come from it. Today, I am practicing some gratitude to those who are running this marathon side by side. I have hit a rough patch lately and forcing myself to stay recovery centered. Because I know the alternative, and that is not a place I want to revisit. If you are struggling, you are not alone. Maybe somebody needs to hear that today, as much as I need to remind myself that today.
