Day 6
Day 6. I actually faced a mirror this am. The damage I did to my body is right there. I've got alot of work to do. It's embarrassing what I did to myself. Today, for sure I will not drink. I look forward to Day 7....I'm quite depressed and sad about that image in the mirror. I just didn't love myself anymore. So tired of being sad. Hey, glad I found this place. See you on Day 7, thnks

Oh man, I'm sorry you felt so bad. It's only going to get better though, promise. Just stick to it, 6 days is amazing! You are worth it and deserving of a good, healthy life. Don't forget that. You can do it!

It will get better the longer you stay sober.
Early recovery is a very up and down time, feelings all over the place and the body learning how to function normally again. But it does get better, I promise. Be good to yourself: good healthy food, exercise, plenty of rest. You'll come thru this and will no longer hate what you see in the mirror.

Thanks Vancouver, I'm headed out the door for a brisk 4 mile walk. I've been working out everyday actually, and that should pay off mentally and physically. I'm just sick of being sick and tired. Looking forward to health and happiness in my heart for myself and being a better figure to the ones I love and care about. There is something I can do about the regrets, starting 6 days ago. Then repeat, repeat, repeat.....

We had a distorted vison and view of
ourselves with poison in our system.
The longer we stay clean or sober by
taking it a day at a time, we will see
a beautiful person in the mirror looking
back at us. A "special child" that is
worthy of love, care and guidance from
our HP.
I know because i saw ugliness for so long
behind the tears. Now 21 yrs sober later
I continue to see a childlike smile and glow
looking back at me in the mirror.
What a awesome special gift. Miracle.
