Like you said, you don't know the results yet, maybe you did fine. I know some of the tests that I thought I did the worst on, I ended up doing ok with. If not, you did your best and that is all you can do.

No matter what else happens, at least I'm healing myself.
Sometimes it is so hard to stay in the day. Minds have a tendency to go wandering to what is ahead and what is already behind us.
I think things will get better as long as I continue to stay clean.

I'm stopping in to say goodnight to my dear friends. I'm grateful for many things today. Wonderful friends are counted in my gratitude.
As I close another day clean and sober, I realize that I have to much to give thanks for. It seems as though words could never be enough to express the joy that I feel over everyone reaching out to help me get thru this journey.
(((BIG HUGS A-Z)))
If you are new and struggling, remember that together, we can do this!
If you're an old-timer, never forget to pass along that experience, strength, and hope to the newcomers. Your experience may be what someone needs to hear that day.
May we all stay on this beautiful journey together. All for one, and one for all.
Goodnight everyone! Prayers being sent up for each one of you!

((((((((((Angel))))))))))) I am sooooooooooo glad you didn't give in to temptation.......although, not nearly as glad as you are, I am sure. Keep at it, hon' and it will keep getting better. I remember feeling mostly insane during my first few months of sobriety, but it slowly and surely got better. It will for you too!

It will all get better and I remember that everytime things are going wrong. 
My worst day sober is so much better than my best day using. Love,
Cheryl

You are most definitely not the only one. When we spend so much time experiencing life through a haze of drugs, it feels very unnatural to finally experience life as it really is. Eventually, though, it begins to feel normal again, and soooooooooooooo much better than the fog.

SR has been full of activity today! Pretty cool.
I worked all day and then when I got off work, I dropped the gallon of milk that I bought and it busted. Milk went all over the place and I lost money right there. This will be funny next week, but for now, I'll just pout. hehe...no j/k.
Ok, was kinda funny if I think about it for a moment. OH well............

If I disappear from SR for a little while, don't be worried because I'm ok. I am just thinking that it may be good to take a break for a while. But you know I'll be back because I can't forget my special friends.

I'm sorry you dropped the milk bottle. A big one too.
Spilt milk never would I shed a tear for. Spilled Beer--yeah--I'd be crying a river. I can recall the one afternoon when I dropped both prized sixpacks of Anchor Steam Lager (rare: from San Francisco) & Pilsner Urquel (very rare: from Czech Republic) trying to get out of my car. Half the bottles crashed to the asphalt & I spent a good 2 hours cleaning it up. A loss of about $20.

Things are slowly getting better. I can feel it each day.
I've been exercising and that has helped. I also have been
trying harder to take care of myself. With this new life I have
chosen, taking care of myself is very important. Some days,
it feels like an uphill battle, but in the long run, we will win this
race. We all have it within us to stay sober. It happens, sometimes
quickly, sometimes slowly. But if we make that decision and truly
work for it, we can have the healthy, happy, sober life that we deserve!
