6 months yesterday!!!
 

I still suck at getting to meetings, I still struggle sometimes. But it is so much better. Here's what I've learned so far about/in recovery. Just my opinions and some things I've learned that I wanted to share. They apply to life in general as well!

• Feelings pass and can be endured
• Consistency is key to success
• Life is all about inertia and momentum
• You are stronger than you think
• One day at a time
• You will never be "ready" to do something difficult; just start, and go on from there
• Sitting still is better than moving backwards
• Life in addiction is a cycle of desire that never leads to fulfillment or satisfaction
• Mental illness is not all bad
• Community and individuality in balance
• Cravings pass quicker when you talk about them with someone
• Life without alcohol and drugs is not only possible; it's enjoyable

Thank you everyone for being here :)
