Sending a virtual hug out to everyone who is up late dealing with thoughts and feelings of anxiety, fear, or grief.

It's okay to be scared or overwhelmed; that's normal even, under the circumstances that we're living in. The world can be a scary place.

I see you. I see us. I can't promise that everything will be okay--but I can say that you aren't alone.

Put yourself and your recovery first.

Unfollow triggering blogs. Follow inspiration and recovery blogs.

Give yourself positive reminders everyday.

Make a list of things which help you and refer to it when needed.

Accept relapses will happen, but it’s part of recovery. Learn from them.

Let yourself be helped by others.

Don’t ever give up. It will be hard, but it will be worth it.

the first day after you stop using seems to always be the easiest to me. it’s the second day that mental torture, cravings, and intrusive thoughts begin to consume you.

To anyone fighting addiction and suffering from withdrawals:

Remember why you’re doing this. What you’re doing is great for your body and so much better for your health. I’m proud of you for taking the right steps forward. Your friends and family are proud. I’m proud of you for trying, for fighting, for wanting this for yourself and you should be proud of yourself too! Please don’t give up, even if today you end up breaking your promise, tomorrow is a new day

Not using isn’t easy but using everyday isn’t easy either.

Recovery

Drugs offer relief but it’s a trap.

[untraining-addiction]

Addiction

Addiction stole my soul and broke everyone who loves me heart.

For whoever needs to hear this:

You’re allowed to be hurt

You’re allowed to be angry

You’re allowed to cry

You’re allowed to be bitter

You’re allowed to be anxious

You’re allowed to be sad

You’re allowed to feel what you need to feel, even when it isn’t positive. Sometimes our feelings are full of pain, and that’s okay

But don’t give up. Someday soon it’ll be better, and you’ll be okay. I promise.
