One day at a time
Sounds like a cliché but it’s so true. The days that I’m struggling with thoughts of using or wanting to relapse I’m reminded that I need to take it one day at a time. When that doesn’t work one minute at a time does it. Recovery is a forever process and I will never be recovered but I’m working on myself everyday to curb any urges that do come up.
By recognising and allowing yourself to work one minute at a time is a huge step in self care. It is also very easily overlooked.
