But...

"you're not using drugs"

That's becoming a popular saying around our house (in one form or another).
With all of the early recovery stress (adapting to nightly NA meetings and weekly early recovery group) recovering from thousands of dollars of financial stress and loans and bills that just got left behind, and generally just adjusting to life again, somedays that's all we have to be thankful for.

so while i'm sitting around complaining about such and such company calling 5 times today to collect and i have the worst headache in the worldand blah blah blah... he says "but at least i'm clean today."

we've also been blessed with several opportunities to see how much worse things could be.

That's what I tell myself when I'm down, it is a priceless gift.
