Lead me not into temptation

Today, I am 27 days sober. I’ve had my fair share of starting over, and over, and over..

I am proud of myself for finally taking the plunge and getting back to me. I don’t feel as foggy anymore. My motivation for life is getting better day by day. It hasnt been easy. Every single day has been a struggle in some way. Whether it’s being tempted by friends or coworkers, or just simply stepping outside onto my patio for a morning tea and smelling it all around me at my complex. I forced myself to turn around and come back inside, because I know I can’t just throw 27 days of sobriety away for one single high.

I have been tempted several times to stop and pick something up and go back to my old ways, but I haven’t. I am very grateful for that. I have been notorious for getting in my own way at times. I have been very busy lately, mainly because I force myself to be, so I don’t have to sit and think about getting high. I smoked for half my life. Wake up, smoke. Go to work, smoke. Go to sleep, smoke. A constant habit that I put up with everyday for way too long. I am very blessed to have made it this far. I plan to keep going, because I have little people that depend me on daily. I can’t stop now. :slight_smile:
