Walking out of the building into a bright late-summer day, I feel a lightness in my step the likes of which I’ve not experienced here at Yates. Maybe it’s relief that I’ve been released from that medieval dungeon or maybe it’s because I’ve mustered the strength to resist getting back on that hamster wheel of dependence on benzos. My sobriety has held.
Love this! This is the feeling of ACCOMPLISHMENT! In early recovery the only thing we seem to know is failure. Noticing the HUGE milestone of consciously passing up drugs that you know could have helped you check out on reality is like a turning point in your recovery. Recovery is not over, not complete, but you are on a new page.
