Thought I'd drop in and at least do a short post today!  Well it's Thursday and still hot...it feels like I'm living on the sun!!  Plus now we get lucky with severe thunderstorms everyday and torrential rains, which just ups the humidity...ughhh.  I'm still doing good and still have been staying clean, so I'm so proud of myself!  I mean I do have cravings, but I find those getting easier to resist and just feel better, physically and emotionally, not using!  So to those out there starting their road to sobriety, keep going and be strong!  You will start to feel so much better and find out that life is so much better when you are sober.  Things won't be easy all the time, but I'm starting to learn to deal with the bad things and the feelings I have being clean and not high.  It does get real hard at times with me, but I just take a step back and breathe and relax...and then take on the problem, instead of ignoring like I used to when using, and try to find solutions.  I find that taking time each day to have alone time and even to meditate sometimes has really helped me.  I'm starting to get more honest with myself each day as well, thanks to friends on here!

I'm just thankful to be alive each day, to be sober and for all the friends I have made on here.  This is a wonderful site that really does help people and I try and tell others about this site that are in 12-step programs and those wanting to get clean or are just in the beginning of getting clean.  Not sure what day I am on being sober, but I find that not to be important too much to me.  What's important is that I live each day concentrating only on that day and that I stay clean, and also that I learn to become a better person each day.  Hope everyone else is doing well!
