Day 24,

Getting close to a month of consistency. Addictive cravings are down and starting to get less intense for me already, which is a wonderful relief.

Day 25,

Get to enjoy my first weekend in a new town. Going to do some sightseeing and authentic living. Definitely things I wouldn't have the energy for if I was living in addiction.

Much love, all.

I just realized I was accidently a day forward in my recovery count. Today is day 25, I guess I skipped a day when my thread got to page 3.

About to head to bed and try a new church in town. Busy week ahead, but I had a fun and productive weekend and am starting to like living in my new town.

I'm dealing with some feelings of loneliness here, but overall my life is good and I'm confident I'll make new friends soon.

Day 26,

Briefly back in my old town to finish cleaning and moving out. Hard to believe it's almost been a month since this all began. It's a good feeling though.

Staying true to my recovery each day. Love you guys.

Thanks so much guys.

I didn't have much to say yesterday, but I'm happy to be four weeks into my recovery now. Soon to be a month.

I've been killing it moving out of my old place while balancing work responsibilities. I'm glad to be gone in the next few days, as this place brings back bad memories. Ready to move on to better things in life.

Love you all.

Day 29,

Need to keep it short because I'm moving everything back to my new apt. in the a.m. Going to be a busy, productive day. Hope to post more once I've completed the move and officially started a new life in a new place.

Much love all.

It did, Dee. I'm fully moved into my new place, though quite exhausted. Hope to clean up a bit in the a.m.

Also it's been one month since I started this journal. Happy to be where I'm at and plan to keep taking my recovery seriously.

Much love, all.

Day 31.

Still quite exhausted / a little sickish from all the moving. Going to take it easy and get to bed early tonight. Doing well emotionally / spiritually though.

Day 32,

Been dealing with some emotional lows lately, though I still feel stable recovery-wise. I guess I'm just adjusting to being in a new town. It's a bit lonely here, so hope to make some new friends shortly. Things will work out though, and I'm confident I'll feel better in the morning.

Thanks so much. I think today was a bit easier, though I still did have some feelings of loneliness and insecurity. I took some time to focus on myself earlier, prayed about them, and have felt better since. I guess like my recovery, it's a gradual process adjusting to a new life without an unhealthy coping mechanism.

Day 33.
