Eight months and counting
Here we are at 8 months. Looking back, it has been a very interesting 8 months but in this time I have grown so I suppose it was worth it. Hard to believe some days that it has been this long but then some days it seems like an eternity. All in all I guess it just comes down to knowing that there are good days and bad days and each and every day, no matter which, will pass. Years ago when I first got sober my sponsor used to tell me all the time....This too shall pass. I hated that saying back then but over time I have learned to really appreciate it because it is so true. The fact that she said it to me almost daily drilled it into my brain so that now when I am having a bad day and sometimes even a good day that saying comes into my head automatically. For this I am truly grateful. The holidays are quickly upon us and I am dreading them because that is always a hard time of year for me. This year I am on my meds for the bipolar so hopefully it will be better. So far I have not fealt that start to the downward dive that usually has already overtaken me. So hopefully this is a precursor to great days to come. I want to take this opportunity to wish all my friends on here a very happy holiday season and a very Merry Christmas.
