yes..it's true

I am always grateful for New years and new beginnings....It is one of my great human needs to be periodically reborn..

I feel like maybe I have worn this out over the years, promising myself and my family that this is the year I get myself together.

I mean...how many times can someone say that..and not follow thru.

I have a long history of deception...diversion and just plain nonsense...

I am proud to say that this year I have followed through and even have plans for my future...plans that don't include getting my fix...

granted it is only 12 days into our new year...but you see I have 6 months clean...a long time for a gal like me...an addict that loses herself completely into the drugs...It is an amazing feeling, knowing that yep...I crave that feeling still ...yet I also crave the feeling of being like this...and this feeling is finally taking root and growing inside me...I have planted the seed of sobriety ..just gotta keep watering it and talking about it..and growing ....

so here I am ...reborn and grateful.....

peace and love,
~Beezy

Great post Beezy! I like that the 'good' feeling is growing inside you. That's what happened to me too.

And, congratulations on 6 months clean!

I can totally relate to craving the feeling of being good to myself - naturally, not substance oriented. Thank you for such a pleasant post to read. I wish you only the best and strongest thoughts as you continue on this path of self caring.
