Day 17 - Freedom!

Aug 21, 2008 12:00AM - 1 comments

Life is so much fun. . .just doing the normal things, like cleaning house, working in the yard, playing with my daughter, cooking dinner for my husband - I last night figured out that the life I was so desperately trying to escape from is the very thing I want and love!  How bizarre is that?

Without pills, I can just be me and I like being me.  I've noticed that I talk a whole lot, laugh even more and actually feel happy inside, naturally happy that is and not synthetically loaded. . .today there is a very high probability that I won't take a pill. . .plus I have my awesome meeting to look forward to tonight and so there's an additional chance I won't take a pill tonight either. . .what a concept; what freedom!!

Of course, I am only 17 days clean and am still very guarded about just how conniving this disease is. . .I am not staring too deeply into my past though and just glancing back now and again, mainly to ensure it doesn't sneak up on me and attack when I least expect it. . .always cunning; always baffling and oh so powerful!!  But guess what, so am I, today anyway!!

You are doing so good and have such a great attitude! Life is great clean!!! Being yourself is wonderful also.

I am glad to see you still have your guard up. That is very important.

Keep up the good work!
