One Step a Day
I've found that recognizing one step a day that I've done that was healthy towards recovery has been really beneficial. It helps me not focus on the negative as much and is something that I can do, no matter where I am in my recovery, whether that be wanting to get clean or having been so for a little while. I thought maybe sharing the idea might help! Hopefully this can be an ongoing thread for daily posting. :)
One step that I took today was to call and make an appointment with my psychiatrist in order to let her know how things have been going, rather than continuing to isolate and put it off. Now that I've made my appointment, I feel relieved rather than quite as anxious as I had before calling.
I went back to the doctor and got a CT scan, which will help my overall health.
@InternalAcceptance Way to go! I hope the results turn out alright. It is wonderful that you are making your health a priority. :)
@lovelyWhisper66 There was actually a "glassy" section on my lungs which confirmed that I've had a lung infection and inflamation the past three months but I'm on antibiotics now and should be back to normal soon!
@InternalAcceptance Oh my, that's so scary! :O Glad to hear you are getting better.
So, this is where I tell about my 'One Step a Day'! Okay, I'm fixing to do Step 272, joining a sub-community, like I really need to join another community. I'll do it anyway.
@FaithfulPrune9638 Yay, well done! Great to see you here. :)
Got to focus on 3 things in which to be grateful. Yay! Those school days are nice.
@FaithfulPrune9638 Gratitude does wonders for the mind and soul, both short term and long term. Glad to hear school is going well for you. Thanks for sharing, and well done! :)

Oh, no. My girls' are in school. I stay at home and get 8 hours to myself. Lol

I have been talking to my therapist about how I have been feeling
Hey green! So good to hear from you. I am happy to hear that therapy is going well for you. Best wishes, and well done! :)

I started the day in the sunshine.
@prodigalprincess Nothing like sunshine to get the day started. Hope you are enjoying your Friday; have a lovely weekend! :)
Yesterday and today I did not drink any coffee.
@lovelyWhisper66 congrats! How did it go after that?!
@genuineFriend2015 Well, I got coffee from Starbucks the next day lol. Still, I am doing my best to not have it every day. Thanks for the lovely post! :)
Trying to quit but finding every moment i feel less equipped emotionally and more child like as if i dont have any social skills right now. Im very worried im having some type of breakdown. This started out a good idea but if i cant function than im no good to anybody
