Thanks so much!

I've been struggling with cravings really badly for the past 2 days but I've just been plugging along and pushing on through them. I DO NOT want to have to start over and go through this early recovery stuff again.

I'm trying to get motivated to go out and exercise and every day I tell myself that I'm going to do it, but I haven't yet.

I don't listen to the lies of the addict mind. It keeps trying to remind me of what it 'imagined' was good, but I know the truth. It felt horrible being up after sleepless nights, and the muscle aches and pains and all the depression afterwards. No way do I want to go back to that.

I put my body through hell. I had a 2 bottle of wine a day drinking habit and when I got the adderall prescription, I'd abuse it in high doses so the prescription never lasted long. Same thing with painkillers.

It felt so good to wake up this morning and not head for the wine bottle or the pill bottle. I am so grateful for recovery!

Thanks for being there for me!!
