Not Leaving the house
Wow- things are starting to turn around a bit in my life.
Things are still very much up in the air regarding-work-home-future path. But there are a few prospects and I have been earning back trust on the home front.
Today was tough-have the day to myself after spending last weekend with long term boyfriend that asked me to leave. Now staying with my parents. Had to take kitty to the vet and we had dinner out .
Tomorrow I am suppose to hear from a potential employer and
I thought- well today I have to myself I should go to "lunch" not
dwell on the job, relationship, stress, the new diet that has to start "tomorrow" etc etc. JUST ONE DAY and then I will stop tomorrow a new beginning... I think what saved me is the long walk to "lunch" in the cold. These boards helped as well. I have to get through these moments. I am on day 21 . I want to get through the uncomfortable urges, cravings, racing thoughts and stay sober. Some days are so very easy and others are so very tough. I need to do this for myself. Thank you for listening.

21 days - something to be so proud of, faith. Very glad you got over that hurdle.
You sound positive & upbeat, despite the struggle. Things are going to get so much better for you.

whatever it takes! recovery is a lot like Survivor - outwit, outplay, outlast. big difference we are all trying to help each other stay ON the island!!! we can only vote ourselves off........but the remaining tribe is right there on the shore, ready to toss out a life preserver and help bring us back to shore.
