We’ve all been there. You’re doing the right things, staying clean, and showing up—but you just wish you had a fast-forward button. I’ve been through this before. I once had 3 years of continuous sobriety. But after a relapse, things spiraled, and the last 6 months were harder than I ever imagined. Now that I’m back on the wagon, I find myself wishing I could skip ahead to the part where:
The family trust is fully restored.
There’s money back in my pocket.
I can walk down the street without the weight of temptation.
People stop looking at me like I might trip up again.
But if my journey has taught me anything, it’s that we can’t rush the healing. We are planting seeds today for the flowers we want to see tomorrow. You can’t force a garden to grow overnight; you just have to keep watering it.
One step in front of the other. I'll get there
