Yesterday was GREAT, today was tough.

Yesterday I felt wonderful all day.  This morning I woke up and felt like 10 miles of bad road.  WTF???  TOday would be day 14 for me, not counting the small setback last week, and I was sure after yesterday I was in the clear.  NOT THE CASE!  I guess it is true there are good days and bad.

i have two thoughts i read on my fridge evey morning... i will strive for progress, not perfection          quick results disappear just as quickly
i read these into my life like this... if i try to have perfect days every day , i WILL fall short, and relapse
and if it only took me 2 weeks to be perfectly happy, and think i have it behind me , how long till it disappears? like oxygirl said, we had bad days while using, but our addiction overrode what we are feeling now. it will get better, cathy knows cuz shes there!! and when it gets better , there will be less bad days, and more good!! i hope that your days start getting good, soon. keep ya chin up, your almost to the end of the physicall fight..
