Things have been going well for me lately. Depression is lifting, I feel healthy, I am taking care of myself and listening to what my body is telling me.
About a month ago, I started having huge cravings for everything. I felt like I was about to do something rash, so I decided to talk to someone about it. I started seeing a counselor again, and that has helped tremendously.
Last year at this time, I felt the same way. I went on an extreme binge and things didn't go so well. I know that I can't let that happen again. I will do whatever it takes to prevent that from happening.
3 years ago, I lost my Mother and Grandmother within a month of each other. I think I tried to get through the pain by medicating with drugs and alcohol. I realize now, that only prolongs the grieving process.
I never thought the death of my mom and grandma would hit me so hard. But now that I am sober I can feel it. It doesn't feel good, but I know I can get through it, and sober. My mother would be proud.
Today, April 8th 2012 marks 3 years since my grandma died. Today also marks my 9th complete month of sobriety. I never thought I would be able to say that.
Even though it is only 9 months, I feel proud. I remember counting the days in the beginning an I felt like jumping for joy every day I did not pick up the bottle.
It does get easier, the cravings get weaker, an d I feel like a stronger person because of it.
Just thought I would share my thoughts. Thanks for listening. Happy Easter everyone!
