Monday....A new day!!! - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Paulie · 03-17-2003, 08:21 AM

Today is a new day and I am working on a great attitude. It is so much easier to beat myself up than to praise myself for what I do good. I continue to work on that everyday. Working on my 1st again with my new sponsor has really thrown me for a loop. Doing alot of writing and bringing up alot of old stuff, but this is good, painful but good. I need to continue to work on this stuff. I stopped working on myself and my food addiction took off, I thought because I had not used drugs or drank in years I was fine, but not true. I have to remain teachable about myself and my disease that can manifest itself it lots of different ways.

Lets make it a good day, one day at a time.

It really is a good day- thanks for the message! It seems so simple to do, yet so easy to get off track. We all do alot of things well,and to acknowledge them on a regular basis is so hard. I'll take time and acknowledge my accomplishments right now. Enjoy the day.

Just for today!

That's great Pauline. Yes today is a new day and a great one at that. We are all still here and able to take that look at ourselves and know that there is good and there is recovery.

The first step to me is knowing ourselves well enough that we spot our troubled area and learn about it. Learn to work with it and get past it.

Today I did go to the gym and worked out for an hour. I did the cycle and the tread mill today. I feel good about that. I really want to get down a noticeable size before we go to Laughlin at spring break. I don't know if I will reach that goal, but I'm trying.

Have a great day.

Mary, good for you!

Pony - I did the treadmill and the cycle today too!!! funny huh? I have been home for an hour almost, already showered and everthing and my legs are STILL shaking. that is a good thing though!!!

I would like to seem some improvement before my birthday next month too, I think goals are good!!!

I am of to meet my sponsor soon and everything inside is telling me not to go, so I don't have to discuss with her what I wrote about this last week, but I am going to go, because I need to. I am serious about feeling better, just like I was in rehab, and that is good and I am proud of myself. I have to say that outloud once in a while ya know!!

God Bless!
