I hope your week has been a good one. I am so very, very grateful for our meeting this past Monday. It has helped set me back on the path to recovery. "Progress ... not perfection."
It had been a long time since we last met face-to-face as a group. That absence of fellowship seemed to put a strain on each of us. The addict inside found it easier to drive wedges between what we wanted for ourselves and what the addict wanted. We each found ourselves struggling. Me especially.
I am happy to report that this has been a clean week for me. I am happier to report that I have kept my commitment to daily phone calls. These have proved important and effective. While I have not acted out, the thoughts have definitely been there. But the commitment to make a call and the knowledge that others were waiting for that call has been enough to keep the addict in check.
I needed the call to prevent the possibility of acting out last night.
One day at a time.
I am committed to calling again today.
Thank you, Blueshirts, for the ways you help me to just keep trying.
