I've been doing o.k. after the major 'craving incident' a couple days ago. I appreciate all who helped pull me through. I've never had such a group of friends such as all of you. You don't have an agenda, just my best interest at heart and for that, I love you.
So, I've been doing a lot of yard work to keep me busy and my mind off of 'bad things' and I've come up with an idea that I'd like to share with you...I'm going to plant a 'sobriety tree'.
It's gonna be a symbol of my recovery. Nurturing it and watching it grow will remind me that I have to take care of myself and my recovery because if I don't I will also wilt and die. The tree will be where I go and sit to gather my thoughts and meditate. As it grows, I will sit by it and think about where I used to be and how far I've come. Everyday it will be a reminder of my life and what my life means now without drugs. That just like the tree, my recovery needs nurturing and care in order to be healthy and grow and to have a long life.
I'm not sure about what kind of tree I want to plant, but I'd love any suggestions ya'll might have.
Love ya'll, mean it!
Penny
