Hey Robert, are these the natural endorphins everyone is talking about? Because dang it feels better than the pills! 
So today is a good day. I feel good. I actually had some energy last night to start cleaning the house a bit...since my husband really didn't do what he promised. I think coming clean has opened my eyes to a few things that I might have been avoiding but I believe I need to wait a little longer before taking on anything big emotionally. Am I right? I think right now I can move up from hour by hour to day by day though. I felt I was in a better position today to start reaching out to others and trying to share my story for encouragement and support. Do you all think that is a good idea? |
Congratulations on the new job! Was praying for you that you would get it. Yes, these are the endorphines we talked about and they are great aren't they??? You sound terrific.
I totally agree that while life is turning around for you big time, there is no need to rush ANY major emotional issues. There is NO need to do anything that could possibly compromise your recovery. Don't take anymore risks at this point. Your new job is big enough for you now. Don't set yourself up for any disappointments. You have the rest of your life.
Moving from hour to hour up to day by day is a big move. Recognizing that it's an hour by hour thing is critical. We need to do this in the smallest achievable increments so we experience small but regular successes. Failure is negative and we don't need to look too far down the road early in recovery for sure. Sharing your story with others will help you as well as them. You will see the successes you are experiencing as you share your story. You think about things you wouldn't most likely think about if you were not recapping all of your trials and tribulations. It helps to make you more appreciative. Glad to see you doing so well. Remember that you never have to use again for the rest of your life. God bless.
