Just a little encouragement

[Brightfutureahead]

I am on day 8...I am new and learning and trying to stay humble and take everyone's advice...the harsh love and the kind words...they are all cool in my book (even the ones that have boiled my blood a lil...I know it is just because I felt misunderstood...or it hit a nerve...or 2).

I feel strong but yet fragile. I know I have a lot of work ahead of me.

When I was on day 1,2,3, and 4...I could have crumbled i was so weak and sick. I just kept telling myself "They say it's always darkest right before dawn."

I would say that to myself. It would make me literally tear up because it held so much truth for me at that time  (and still does).

I dunno I just figured I'd share and maybe someone who is just starting their journey will read this and it can send some positivity their way because I can tell you dawn did come...and it felt good :)

I kept telling myself, "No matter how bad it gets, drug can make it worse." Sometimes I would say it like a mantra, over and over. It's amazing how such a little thing can keep us on track. Everyone here has the best intentions. I'm glad you are open to everyone's opinion. That tells me that you are willing. Willingness sounds easy, when we are suffering, but it isn't. 8 days is an amazing accomplishment. Thanks for sharing your positive outlook, it really does help new and old.
