So I haven't been counting my days as I haven't done that for a while now, but I know the general timeframe that has passed. Which is around 2-3 weeks.
I haven't been sober for this long in a while, and I've noticed many positive things that have happened to me. I wanted to share the positivity I've felt.
The main thing that I have been doing differently lately, and this may not apply to some of you depending on religious/spiritual standpoints, but I have been praying about it every day since I am a Christian.
Every day, I ask God to help me cast out any temptations and any images I don't wish to see or sounds I don't wanna hear that pop in my head. And if I get tempted again later, I just pray again and ask the same thing, it's done so many wonders.
Because not only have I now been 2-3 weeks sober, but I feel so much happier and alive than I have in a long time, I feel closer to God, and to my friends, and I feel like I have so much more energy and hope.
If some of you aren't religious and this doesn't help you, then I apologize, but that is what has helped me for the last while now, and if any of you are religious/spiritual, I encourage you to try and do the same.
Reach out to God, ask him for help, and he will do exactly that.
And even to those who aren't religious, don't give up! You are all strong and will get through this. It may seem hard now, but it WILL get better. I have been struggling since I was young, and I am almost 21 now, but I feel a new sense of freedom.
Obviously, I won't let my guard down, and none of you should either, but I feel everyone could use some positivity. Good luck with the rest of the war, brothers. And even to those of you who are KIA, you've still got this! Just keep your chin up and keep on going!
