Absolutely, one day at a time (and sometimes one minute at a time). Thatā€™s all that ever worked for me. Thinking too far ahead seemed overwhelming. Itā€™s good to have a goalā€¦of course. The big milestones can be motivation, but I couldnā€™t focus on that only or I would become overwhelmed. Iā€™m
On my way to the next 5 month milestone for alcohol. I canā€™t believe how much Iā€™ve changed for the better. Maybe outsiders wouldnā€™t notice, but itā€™s how I feel. Even when times are tough. Difficult days still happen. Life is up and down. But Im better able to handle it without alcoholā€¦ Unfortunately I slipped into using very low doses of THC, but Iā€™m ready to face this addiction tooā€¦ODAAT. I want to get a handle on this before it takes control of me.

Early Monday morning. Day 9. Iā€™m tired of trying to be strong. Want someone to step in and take care of me for a bit. But I live by myself and struggle to ask for help. I have to work for a few hours today and already worried about managing that. I want a break from being a responsible adult. Dealing with the depression and anxiety is exhausting.

It is exhausting. I wish there was a way someone could be there for you the way you need right now. Iā€™ll try to send some stregth and energy your way.
Sending hugs.
Maybe a gentle guided meditation might help?
