I made it through these difficult moments

[ksplash5]

I'm grateful for staying clean today....made it through some rough spots...when I wake in the morning I will be joyful that I made it through yesterday. I was a good dad, a good boyfriend, a good practicer (of yoga and meditation); and I was filled with goodness in my heart for much of the day

a couple of times it was very good, and it was then that I had thoughts of using and then desires to use. I made it through these difficult moments.

I am trying harder and harder to make it through these moments...and each one builds upon the last one. each on of them passes if I give myself whatever time is necessary, and If I take action as my heart leads me (writing, eating, excercising, going to a meeting, callin someone, sleeping, meditating, getting to a public place where there are people around, or even busying myself with something)

so now i'll let go of appreciating my sobriety and merely breathe and be here now and settle down to rest until i wake in the morning.

thanks and good night

I have found that not matter how hard or how bad it gets if I just stay still one more minute and just don't give up the situation or the feeling changes.
it may not change the way I want but it does change to the way I need it.
Thanks for the post.

Wow so sorry that I missed this post until now but it happens to be the moment that I needed to hear it also

Oh the part of what you said was so very good for me to hear tonight!

If I take action as my heart leads me (writing, eating, excercising, going to a meeting, callin someone, sleeping, meditating, getting to a public place where there are people around, or even busying myself with something)

Lately with my health and the way in which I am going, even though I know what is happening, I find myself buying more domains, and building more sites, even if I am not going to be around to see them grow! The point is that I too am keeping myself busy with something so I don't have to keep inside of my own head and the vicious cycle in which it leads me if I think too much about it.

We have the tools in which we are given but I like what you said because that means that we are into action and action is the key to recovery IMO. Thanks for being here and sharing your journey with us
