One week clean
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.

As long as I keep moving I am happy. I am planning another walk today and then will probably dive back into bed for awhile. Then hopefully get up and accomplish something in my house. If I do that, I will be very happy.
I have lots to keep me busy. The hardest part is getting moving.
Espcially when you don't get much sleep; 4am is tooo freaking early.

pat - that is exactly how it worked for me. Every day I did something - at first even a load of laundry felt impossible. But I did it and felt great about it - and the next day you'll find something else you need to get done. And each day you'll be able to tackle something new and even more. And the sense of accomplishment you'll feel before bedtime each day will be amazing. It really does work if you take it slow and focus only on the day ahead of you.
You're doing this. One week. WOW!
You're doing this. One week. WOW!

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!
