Wow, it is seriously incredible how much better I feel today compared to yesterday. I was still up most of the night, but am super grateful for the few hours of shuteye I did get. I just wanted to post this because this past week was extremely hard, but I am starting to realize that there is an end to this monster inside- which I wasn't so confident about a few days ago. To anyone who has made the brave decision to get clean and are only a few days in, IT GETS BETTER- and that's coming from me. I literally felt as hopeless as can be and almost gave in several times. I can't wait to continue feeling better with each and every day. Don't feel discouraged or hopeless, or like the wd will never end- they will it just takes time. Which by the way, is a word I have hated all week until today! This place has truly changed my life and I am so grateful for everyone who encouraged me to stay strong. We can all do this!! I believe in every single one of us and just want you to know that if you are struggling, it gets better and we have all been through it. The end result will be the best thing ever! I know I still have a long way to go, but I am feeling very optimistic at this point and that brings me great joy. I love you all!
