Love your comments. You are right on!
You making through another day being clean should be enough to cheer you up!! We have to remember that even non addicts have rough days. Every day isn't going to be perfect. We as addicts were just always use to taking a extra pill or so to get through the rougher days. We have to learn how to deal with the bad days without pills and realize that every now and then we will have some bad days. If today was really bad, tomorrow will probably be better. The longer you are clean the further apart the bad days will be. Eventually we will learn how to handle the rough ones. You are doing a great job so keep up the good fight. Being clean is worth having a bad day on occasion. Hang in there buddy, it will get better!
Best of luck to you!

This is all good stuff. It makes me feel good to hear about everyone's good days. Could do without the snow though. lol.

Today had highs and lows like most days for me. I went to a meeting in the morning (my third meeting). I was super tired, my kids did not want to get up and get ready for school and we were in a hurry so I could make the meeting so I did not even want to go but I made it in time and the meeting was really helpful. After that I was exhuasted though and just wanted to sleep or do nothing...instead I forced myself to exercise which made me feel better and gave me the energy to get my work done for the day. Then I picked up my kids which was a highlight. I am exhausted today though so now we are all going to cuddle on the couch and watch mosters vs aliens. Looks like I made it through another day. Today was ok and tomorrow I am hoping for a better day but we will all have good and bad days just like everyone else. The non-addicts have bad days too...we just got used to always making ourselves feel falsely good so for awhile I think our bad days will be a bit intense. Ok, movie time for me.
Thanks and congratualtions to you as well! Kids are a gift from god! I really honestly believe that after this week. It is like they have carried me through the hard parts. And yes my friend is a keeper! She is also a gift from God who keeps me grounded! OMG I love her! I am just counting my blessings as a new sober woman! God it feels goos to say that!

That's great Valerie, kids are the best right? Your friend seems like a keeper. I'm glad to hear that you had such a great "sober" day. I'm proud of you. Keep it up.
John
Hey
I made it through another sober day! It feels awesome! My kids just wanted to cuddle and watch tv with their mom! It was so nice. I definitely had some hard times today but I got a little rest and got to play with my kids and best of all I did it without Norco. I also admitted my addiction to my best friend and she was nothing nut loving and supportive! IT was just what I needed. She told me she loved me and that I was strong! God sends just what you need when you need it most. Good luck in your sobriety! And thankyou for being there to listen to me! It means the world.
