@TigerMatriarch Phil Collins now resounding through my head, congratulations on hitting 63 days! :heart::ok_hand:t3::hugs: :tada::partying_face:

Thank you for the mention on my week, itā€™s been a tough one to start with but had some amazing support from people. @Dazercat @Waka1uk @DLS to name but a few, some of your comments have really helped when I needed them!

@Butterflymoonwoman, glad you have woken to happy plans and your fave day of the week! The meme you have posted is so true. Keep your mindset as it is, you have the choice and are choosing greatness! Loving your positivity In your posts!

Saw a poem the other day that I will share, hope it will Inspire others the way it has inspired me.

Before the inkā€™s even dry the history books are being rewritten,
Those pens are reserved for the gifted and driven.
But thereā€™s a winner in all of us.
A plan bigger than all of us!
Yet that council estate of mind will forever be installed in us!
I Could have been a stereotype, Till I decided I would pave my own path through this life.
Because footsteps are not to be followed unless overtaken, Corners shanā€™t be cut on the road to greatness.
The game is, Lessons learnt and dropped jewels. Sacrifices and falls!
YOU CANā€™T CHECKMATE LIFE WITHOUT LOSING PAWNS!!!

They told us we would never make it.
They told us not to reach for the sky 'coz they didnā€™t.
I told them when the stars align itā€™s just our time
From ā€˜the newā€™ to the ā€˜and still!ā€™

SEIZE THE MOMENT, I WILL!!

Never let life hold you back, you can be great; just believe in yourself!

Love prayers and hugs to all!

Something happened yesterday that almost brought me back. Iā€™m staying with family and one of their friends came over. She said ā€œI put beer in the fridge, youā€™re welcome to itā€ā€¦ I genuinely considered it. I thought ā€œwhat the heck, Iā€™ve been doing good, whatā€™s one beer!?ā€ I must have gone back and forth to that fridge 20 times. Every time I shut the door and busied myself with other things. I didnā€™t drink it. I was so proud of myself.

Day 8 here, turning a corner where Iā€™m feeling remotivated for returning to interests or even just finishing chores/ tasks and the like.
Here i am ready to relearn the art of relaxing and articulating parts of my thoughts etc that are far past due.

Part of sobriety Iā€™ve really dreaded far and above has to be the ā€œspace betweenā€ and Iā€™m very unbothered by those times now and very excited to fill in the blanks or just relax and enjoy the view from where Iā€™m at

In my brain I imagine Iā€™m climbing a mountain trail to get somewhere better and looking back on how far I traveled through thick brambles and such, repeating over again, ā€œhere I amā€

Praying for you Kat! Youā€™ve got a good head on your shoulders and I admire your discipline.
Good luck with this big test!! You are doing the right things and remember we are with you! :hugs::hugs::hugs::heart::heart:
