I haven’t wanted to post here in a minute, even tho I did frequently originally. I always hated selfies before I started my sober journey, and quarantine just f-ed with my psyche. Idk. Anyways. Here’s to 12 days!

Similar to kale or spinach or collards. Leafy vegetable.

Day 55, I wish I could say that things are going great, that I’m feeling great. But I can’t because I don’t. Last few days have been hard, really hard. I choosed to share my story here a few days ago, just to get things out of my own head, and to get a chance to moving forward in sobriety. However I haven’t talked about and trying to forget about it for more than 10 years, and I might have had the opposite effect. It’s in my head more than ever. Last few days has been filled with nightmares, uncomfortable flashbacks and raids all over the house after something to make it go away.

But I’m still here, looking like I feel, crappy. I guess all selfies can’t be a ray of sunshine or a bright smile.

Congrats!! I will say, every time you write it, speak it, yell it out, whatever you choose to do, your chipping away at it! Your dealing and feeling it and for damn sure it hurts, but it’s also being dealt with and not hidden anymore! That’s a great thing! The more your able to get it out of your head, the more you’ll heal those wounds. Much love and luck!!

Thank you. I hope it works that way, but for now I’ve got it more in my head that ever. And that’s not a good thing. I know it’ll pass eventually, I’m just not feeling like I’m gonna make it until it does. But I’m just in the beggining of all this so I probably will :blush:

As hard as it may be, keep being positive! At first it sounds dumb and like "ya ok lady " but it helps. The more negative you let in, the worse you’ll feel. Keep your head up!! It’ll all work out :slightly_smiling_face:
