Day20

This time 3 weeks ago I was a mess. I was full of anxiety, had no idea how I was going to put the bottle down and very unhappy with what my life has come to.

Today I have hope for a happy future. Life isn't perfect. I have struggles and still ride a roller coaster of emotions. Physically I am much better, but still have periods of extreme fatigue. Each day sober is a victory and I am thankful for each sober day. I am making progress. Working on more than just not drinking. I'm working on me. That is critical for long term sobriety.

One inspirational song that has become my favorite starts off with "it's ok to not be ok". That is how I feel even now. I'm not ok but I am getting there and it's ok. I accept me for who I am and will work hard for a better sober me.

Hope you all have a great day!!

I actually believe that Dee. For the first time, I am addressing more than just the evident problem. Whether it be drinking or something else that came before or could come after. I look forward to the healthy me.
