40 days!!!

Well im 40 days into my sobriety!!!! Yay me! :) lately I have been dwelling on my past. Things I could/should have done differently.  Idk if this is part of it all..... or if its my rageing hormones from being three months pregnant.  Lol but its bothering me enough to want to post about it......

Congrats on 40 days. I had a major meltdown about 40. Its now all mental. I have to keep watch on my thoughts and keep coming back to now. Right now you have done the best you can. Your sobriety is first priority as this helps every situation you face. Think of all you have to be grateful for. Think of the strength you have shown by stopping evil pills. You go. Keep pushing.

Thank you :)
I needed to hear I wasn't alone in this neurotic thought process! I feel like I made alot of mistakes while being fogged out on pills. But I know I can change or take back those two years I wasted! Still..... I wish I could right all those wrongs. I know im a much happier healthier me. Not jus for me, but for my husband,  the two small children I have.  And for the one we are expecting.  I pray every night to face tomorrow with the strength to let the past go and leave jus there..... where it belongs.  Glad to hear im not alone in these thoughts.
  Thanks again :)
