Ever be “In your feelings” and you begin emitting emotions that are so strong you affect everyone in the room? That’s what I call “Painting the room”! Well today I am feeling so grateful that I am painting all the rooms in my house a bright YELLOW with my emotions! Enjoy the view while it last colors tend to change in Recovery. #Recovery Happens!

As I struggle to deal with intrusive thoughts, “Popcorn” my other self, day to day appointments and situations. Sometimes I feel the need to just sit in a dark room in my own space in my head and be quiet “shhhhh”

Ok so everyone that knows me know that I suffer with bouts of anxiety; and yes there are some days that I know that I am in control and not “Popcorn” that’s what I call my anxiety lol! See when I am having an bout with anxiety it’s like popcorn being popped. The hotter the pan gets the faster and more kernels pop, talk about not being in control. Well today is not your day Popcorn I got this one !!! #Not today #Recovery Happens

Sometimes on this journey of recovering self we run into situations out of our control… when it’s all over you will find yourself back at the helm! Lord grant me the Serenity to change the things I can to accept the things I can’t change and the wisdom to know the difference #Stay Focused Recovery Happens!

I hit the lottery today! Yep I woke up not only clean and sober but clothed in my right mind and when anxiety came around 8 am this morning I kicked it’s butt with prayer and went on my interview. Anxiety is my diagnosis it does not define me!!! Take that devil#Recovery Happens

Today I have turned my ringer off selfish huh? But in recovery I find it’s important to have some “Me Time” So do you and I will do me! #Make your day #Recovery Happens!

My mom always said “I never said it was going to be easy; but it can happen step by step one day at a time ! Recovery is not only possible it happens. Be of good courage you are an overcome #Recovery Happens!

Gr8 I am alive again; I woke up to a new day I never seen before. It started out slow but it started and so does the ART of juggling people places and things! I can do this #Recovery Happens!!!

As I journey along the path of recovery I realize that it’s not just about drugs and alcoholism life itself has ups and downs that you have to recover from I have found that recovery is a life long process and I am strapped in for the ride # Recovery Happens and it begins with me!

Thanks for joining me!
