Hiya Izzi!
You should be so proud of yourself, your hard work is paying off, don’t let that time off let the addiction creep back in!
I remember the feeling of ‘finding myself’. I had been drowning for so long that I didn’t know who I was anymore.
Slowly slowly I started to blossom, tiny little steps, each day, I began to live my life gamble free. It never hit me like a brick, just one day…… there I was!
In saying that, other things happened over the last 10 years that have recently had me finding myself again. This time it was easier without the addiction looming, but harder in that I finally had to decide what I wanted for the rest of my life! Scary stuff!
I’m still not there yet, but I can tell you that every decision I make now is a gamble free one, and what a great feeling that is.
Your post reminded me of that today. I am proud of how far I’ve come.
Keep doing what you’re doing, it’s working and eventually those thoughts won’t enter your head anymore, if they do, it’s fleeting.
Great job Izzi, keep posting!
Love K xx
