One whole precious week. I have accomplished more this week than I have in 5 years of using. I know I still have a long way too go and a lot more to accomplish and some times it feels overwhelming because I am getting pressured but wow, I am pretty proud of myself. I took care of the financials and got them off my back for now. I can answer my phone again.
I am very slowly lookiing at the mess my house is in and trying hard to do a little bit at a time. I put out weeks worth of garbage the other night. My house doesn't smell like kitty litter anymore
Oh, I have so much to do yet but I am doing something every day and every night I feel so sore and beat up but proud of what I accomplished.
I hate waking up this early but it goes with getting clean. Sore, tired, weak and all, I am one day closer to feeling better and getting my life back.
I had strong cravings last night but didn't think of using. I just ran to the store and bought cookies and a chocolate bar. It really worked. Using was not an option.
The only advice I can give is to just keep moving forward! I know I say that over and over again! Some days it will be very small things, other days it will be huge tasks! You will get through all of this in your own time! Don't let yourself get overwhelmed! For me, it is so easy to do, and that is when I crave the worst!
Take care my dear friend! I'm behind you all the way no matter what you chose! I know you will choose and clean, happy, and healthy life! You are well on your way!
