Relapse dreams have been relentless lately. I& #39;m sleep deprived, hormonal & a ball of exhausted + emotional nerves.

I& #39;m not complaining, nor do I feel sorry for myself (I& #39;m proud of all I& #39;ve done + overcome in the past 1356 days of recovery & 72 days of quarantine), but...

1/4

Some days are hard, and all we can do is have hope + the courage to keep going.

One breath after the next.
One foot in front of the other.
One day at a time.

If you& #39;re currently struggling, know you are not alone, and things... life gets better, truly.

2/4

You aren& #39;t stuck & you don& #39;t have to continue down a path of self-destruction.

Towards the end of my addiction, I was perpetually intoxicated; a shell of a person.

Even after 3.5+ years of sobriety, my life is far from perfect. But it is...

3/4

Beautiful + meaningful & I can advocate for myself.

Recovery is a continuous state of healing, learning + loving yourself.

Relapse nightmares help show me how much I& #39;ve grown, and remind me I never have to be that person again.

If you& #39;re looking for a sign, this is it. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✨" title="Sparkles" aria-label="Emoji: Sparkles">
