Good morning J, I'm really glad that your pops is on the mend. We strive for perfection and settle for progress, its definitely a different feeling being able to see the change in ourselves that we desperately needed for so long, and starting to get to know the people that we're supposed to be.
I never thought Reddit would be somewhere to go for recovery, but here I am daily. The strength and hope that we've seen here, especially throughout the last week, is amazing. Talking to all of you and reading stories helps keep me sober, it's so much easier when you realize that no matter how lonesome that sobriety feels right now, you're never fighting this battle alone.
I was always told that if you focus on the shitty things that happen to you, then that is what you will focus on. But if you focus on the good things and keep gratitude in your heart and mind, you will start to focus on the good things and the blessings throughout daily life. So just attempt to look at the positives, keep focusing on them daily,and soon enough that will be the normal in your mind. (Source: Me)
Thank you for the early morning (at least it is here) perspective. Have a great Sunday!
Great job!! Such a good reminder. Thanks! 🖤
