better now than a few hours ago

Things feel pretty good now; it wasn’t as nice just a few hours ago.

I saw that it was beautiful outside, springtime, and that I was not “missing it” as in years past, but I was uncomfortable and nothing could seemingly take that away. I wanted to use but hung in there and kept doing what I’ve been doing, and now it seems worth it. Sometimes it doesn’t feel good, it doesn’t feel worth it, but I’m continuing to practice “staying” with what is uncomfortable, whereas in the past I ran and hid.

I’m glad for the stuff that’s inside me right now, largely as a result of today’s part of my life.

yesterday started and ended up being a very nice day for me. i'm so glad i stayed clean. sometimes that's the most wonderful feeling to have in the morning, and often that's the case after making it through tough urges the day before. Other times it's nice simply because a moment of grattitude opens up the reality of my new life.

the worries and fears of last week are so far behind me. it's like a past life (which it really is). And now today I am here now and ready to move through the moments of my life. If I could be with every single breath I breathe today...that would be awesome. That won't happen, but if I can just be with a hundred of them that will be cool too.

Stayin in the moment is awesome. I did that all day the other day and had the most enjoyable, peaceful evening.
You have come such a long way. You are an inspiration and showing me that it is possible to get and stay clean off that evil crap.
Like that feeling when you get locked up and know that nothing you do is goin tpo open those ghates until they are ready to let you go.
That is the most helpless, hopeless feeling in the world. My freedom is the worst thing that can be taken from me. Next to losing my family.
At times I feel like it is impossible to ever truly break free from crack. But you and Amy really and truly do make it very hopeful for me.
Keep it up.
