I'm feeling OK. up to 40 days now. the urges just aren't happening so far, so the obsession and compultion don't even have a chance to start.
I pray that my desires and thoughts of using be lifted and removed.
My sponsor told me to keep repeating this affirmation:
I will be good to myself today. I deserve good. My sponsor loves me almost as much as I do.
It all feels good right now as my "recovery playlist" on my IPOD belts out my truth again into my brain. But the next moment might be filled with fear; and if that happens I'm learning more and more to not react to the pain but to feel it and know that I'm healing and living life instead of living dead.

Good for you KSplash! I recently read that we must learn to respond to life instead of reacting. I'm a reaction type person and so this is all new for me. Have to actually think and learn from situations instead of acting out on them. All good though.
