Its absolutely one day at a time. Yesterday I can do nothing about, tomorrow is tomorrows worries, today is what counts. I think this realization was good for me to keep going and staying sober, and to not forgett what I am working for.

How do I feel todayā¦? I donāt really know. Day 6 and I have a lot on my mind. One thing I need to work on is my low self-esteem, as I can much too easily become unhealthily attached as a result of it. Since Iām already struggling with addiction and PTSD, other peopleās actions or words can sometimes hit particularly hard, e.g. if a relationship doesnāt work out, or if someone does or says something hurtful, it shakes me up as if itās the end of the world or I just canāt handle it. Itās all too easy to become dependent or attached when you feel insecure/vulnerable. I know itās total bullshit to ever depend upon anything external to be happyā¦ So how to manifest self-esteem? Exposureā¦ Thatās all it is. Exposure to experience, and to whatever it is you or I want. Itās possible, we can all do it folks!
