Feeling Good

The title says it all, I am feeling pretty good these days.  My sleep patterns are still messed up and my head a little fuzzy but I think I am healing.  The human body sure is incredible it can take such abuse and neglect and still it always naturally moves toward balance.
  I have racked up 8 consecutive days of complete abstinence.   That may not sound like much but it is the longest stretch of complete abstinence I have had since 2006!   I am still going to meetings everyday and reading recovery literature.  I truly believe the tipping point was the my formally asking my Higher Power for help in the 3rd Step.  I have always accepted Christ as my Savior and looked to him for strength and guidance, but when I was really deep in my addictions I turned my back on Him.  Now I see that like a patient and loving parent he was waiting for me to come around and ask for help.  He never gave up on me and accepted me back like the prodigal son I am.
Anyhow it is time to look for a job and think about going back to school.  There are 9 more steps to go through and so much more to learn, but I think the major crisis is over.
I thank everybody and all my new friends in the program for the support and well wishes.
Have a great day !!
