Wink Day 42 and someone noticed a good change!

Feeling good today. My family threw a birthday party for me last night and brought lots of food! My grandparents gave me the most beautiful card and the words touched me so much, that I cried at the table. The card said that no matter what bumps I had to face, I never quit trying. They told me that they believe in me. Wow, such powerful words and it just made a huge difference for me. I was also told that they are seeing a big change in my life!!
I know in my heart that I have came a long way. I know that it does get even better than this. I'm holding on and continuing to move forward.

Hope

You know, it is kind of sad to read the beginning parts of my thread, "It's Not Over Yet" because I can still feel the pain that I wrote in those words. I was so lost and now I can look back and say, "you know, I could have done that differently." But , I guess that in essence, recovery is about learning new ways.

I no longer beat myself up for past actions because I was only a pawn of the addiction.
I am free today. It took A LONG time for me to find that freedom, but I have grabbed on to it today.
For 42 days straight! A miracle, no less.

Hi hopealwayz and 42 days is good. Don't forget that after 42 comes 43. Just wait till it's 420! You'll look back and remember and be amazed.
God bless
