Recovery is not an easy job. Staying clean is actually the easy part. It’s the feelings that come along with it. The anxiety that tears you apart at random times of the day. The tears that you randomly cry watching a soldier reunite with his family bc you’re all over the place. The frustration you deal with when it gets rough. The feelings SUCK! You’re no longer numbing them and it’s the HARDEST PART OF RECOVERY!! But at the end of your anxious, frustrating, depressing day… we all lay our heads knowing we didn’t use over it AND THATS WHAT HELPS US SLEEP IN PEACE and WAKE UP FEELING PROUD 🥲

Absolutely. It’s the morning after a hard sober day of feelings upon waking that makes the recovery all worth it. Knowing that day is over and a better day awaits. As they say, one day at a time. Eventually those hard feeling days get better and better. Then the miracle of recovery takes hold. Fun, happiness, love, all the feelings you had wished for while using come filtering in. Very cool post. Feelings don’t get us high. It’s how we deal with them that does. Keep up that struggle. You doing it.
