Jess, take a breath Hon.

You can cry out to God for help, no matter where you are.

Instead of focusing on the guilt, shame . . . try focusing on the good things.

I know it may sound like a gratitude list is my answer to everything But for me it is. Here's a few for starters:

How many days do you have clean?

Did you wake up knowing what you did last night?

You have a job

You have your health

You have those phone numbers


Ok, you said you're at work and you can't go to a meeting. Have you been going?

Ok, say it with me here : God Grant me the Serenity
To Accept the Things I Cannot Change,
Courage to Change The Things that I Can
&
The Wisdom to Know the Difference.


Jess, this too shall pass. With each bad time you get through, I believe that you take a tiny bit of the power away from your addiction

You're going to be ok.

Try some deep breathing!

You're in my thoughts,
Judy
