This journey through life has had many different curves and bumps in it. Through my new found sobriety and lifestyle i am still facing these curves daily. Recently i have split from my husband, moved into my new home, im a first time home owner but lost a loved one. it is such a catch, and at times it is hard to decide which to focus on. Through the pain i am learning to focus on what i do still have and what i will gain now. The loss stays with me daily but the joys of overcoming and progressing through this on my own with out any type of drink or drug is absolutely the best feeling i can imagine ever having. Accomplishment is not just physical, but some of the most rewarding things are unseen to the eye of others and many times not even seen by our own self. I try to remember daily to see the little steps i am making and have made to achieve the bigger picture.

Much love to everyone here and keep moving forward, its all we can do.

Learning to deal with loss is learning to live. I know it hurts now (divorced myself- brought it on myself, too) but you will heal. Use it as fuel to combat the urge to drink and drug. Eventually, without ever seeing it happen, you will find yourself in a better place. You just have to keep up the journey to you get there.
