The Past is Not Today! Living in the past, wallowing in the shame and guilt of past actions; regret and self-pity gets us nowhere. The past is just that, the past. We can’t go back and change, but we can learn from it. Our past is a place of reference NOT of residence. We can choose to learn from our pasts, just as important though, is learning to live in today! 🙌🏻 • • • • #liveinthemoment #livefortoday #justfortoday #noregrets #liveinthepresent #onedayatatime #recoveryblog #recoveryworks #learningexperience #learnfromyourmistakes #soberinspiration #sobermovement #sobermotivation #soberinstagram #soberstrong #recoveringalcoholic #recoverywarrior #recoverystrong #recoverystories #soberwarrior #wedorecover #recoveryispossible #addictionrecovery #sobercommunity #recoverycommunity #alcoholicsanonymous #friendsofbillw #soberquotes #addictionquotes #recoveryposse https://www.instagram.com/p/Cphr38uuWAn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

87 days sober and I can honestly say that recovery is not only possible but it’s worth it. I have so many pictures of myself from active addiction and now but this one stands out. I take so much pride in my appearance now that I can’t believe I would walk around like this. I hated myself and my life and I felt hopeless and worthless. Just another junkie. Today I love myself and my life. My higher power has carried me through this journey and continues to every day. I also wouldn’t be here and where I am today without the amazing support system I have of friends and family, and the fellowship I have in Narcotics Anonymous.y sober buddies have let me lean on them when I felt like the world was gonna collapse on top of me. If anyone is struggling with addiction or alcoholism, please know there’s life after it. There is hope in recovery and there is an army of recovering addicts and alcoholics that are rooting for you to recover. If I had been alone, I’d be dead. No one ever has to suffer alone. I’m grateful for my life today and I feel like I’m figuring out my purpose finally. I never believed I could be clean and sober but here I am. 💚💚💚 #addictionrecovery #recoveringaddict #sober #soberlife #soberliving #soberaf #soberwomen #soberwarrior #soberjourney #sobriety #sobrietyrocks #sobrietyforwomen #sobrietyjourney #sobrietyisbeautiful #sobrietyisworthit #soberisthenewblack #soberisbetter #recovery #recoveryispossible #recoverywarrior #recoveryjourney #recoveryforwomen #selfcare #selflove #selfworth #happy #happiness https://www.instagram.com/p/CLo13whl7M3/?igshid=1xy21fgr1fbwm

New tools

14 Feb 2020

For the past few days, I’ve tried things I’ve never tried before.

I’ve meditated to strange chanting. I’ve saved affirmations as wallpaper on my phone and checked them regularly. I’ve set alarm reminders to stop and breathe every hour. I’ve journaled my gratitude. I’ve drawn. I’ve had essential oil baths. I’ve held on tight to a string of beads when I've felt as though my insides are going to snap. I’ve leaned on the amazing people in various sober Facebook groups.

But the biggest thing of all is I HAVEN’T DRUNK ANY ALCOHOL. My biggest and baddest trigger is my trip home from work. I walk 20 minutes to my car, past a bottle shop. I drive 30 minutes past 3 bottle shops. And last night I had to pick my daughter up from circus. I had 30 minutes to kill, which would normally see me sculling wine or cider the whole time.

Last night, the angst I felt was so strong I swear I could see it manifested as a dark cloud in front of me. As I walked past the bottle shop I thought “Yup. I’m having an alcohol craving.” I clutched my string of beads tightly and moved my feet. As I drove past the bottle shops I thought “I’m having a craving for alcohol.” I listed out loud the sensations in my body. I surfed the feelings.

I got to the car park to collect my daughter and cried over my steering wheel. I yelled a bit. I collected my daughter and she gave me a big, warm, tender hug. She asked me how long I hadn’t had a drink for, then said she was proud of me. I made it through another day. I’m so grateful.

We need to talk about rock bottom… When I first got sober I was under the impression that everyone had a rock bottom. I then quickly realized that everyone’s rock bottom looks different. For some rock bottom looks like pawning family heirlooms, homelessness, divorce, unemployment, jail time, DUI’s, losing custody of children, or some combination thereof. For others rock bottom looks different, a single blackout, an embarrassing video from a night out, or a tipsy off-handed comment at the wrong time to a loved one. You don’t have to be the worst case to be a worthy case! Rock bottom doesn’t have to mean the guy under the bridge with the brown bag; it can be the successful woman who runs her own business. Rock bottom is wherever we stop digging. • • • • #rockbottom #soberthoughts #sober #sobriety #breakthestigma #silencetheshame #soberinstagram #sobermotivation #sobermovement #recoveringalcoholic #worthycause #youareworthy #soberinspiration #wedorecover #recoveryworks #odaat #soberjourney #sobercommunity #recoverycommunity #addictionrecovery #soberliving #recoveryispossible #recoverystories #sobervibes #recoverywarrior #recoverywin #soberwarrior #soberquotes #recoverystories #recoverysayings https://www.instagram.com/p/CqVc3FXs5yC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
