Toodie

I'm human right? I think I tend to get caught up in my own self pity. Beating myself up when I relapse. Getting lost in the whirlwind of shame, embarrassment, guilt, hurt, and disappointment in myself.

Guess what? Everyday is a new day. A new day to try again. A new day to move on.

So I forgive myself. Hey, "normal" people have issues too right? So why be hard on myself? Instead using that same negative energy, and turning it into something positive. Focusing on staying sober one day at a time, and quit freaking out with thoughts of "forever."

Truth be told I am honestly struggling, but I'm also honestly trying to find my way to sobriety. What works? What doesn't? Etc. I'll conquer this thing one day for good. For today I'm going to my first AA meeting. To get through today sober.

Just my thoughts for today...

I've always been too hard on myself. Part of my depression was to blame myself for everything that went wrong. Now that I'm sober I don't do that self loathing anymore.
