I love this thread.
Recovery is GREAT!
For now I feel many things, but I am feeling gratitude often.
Also I tell myself its ok NOT to be 100% happy, NOT to be perfect... I don't "have to" ANYTHING.... I am OK, today is OK, changes are OK, I am alive and healthy.
Yes, and thinking about what I am no longer doing and what I am no longer feeling, helps.
I know even when going through stuff, I won't ever feel as bad, because I know who my "spiritual family" is and have learned to ask for help.
I no longer feel alone!
Thank God for SR friends and all the resources available for us to feel better.
