• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

:hug: MyNewSelfImage. You've made it so far before, you know that you can pick yourself up again. :hug: It's just a slipup. It doesn't mean a lot - what I mean is, don't let it mean the end of the world to you. It's okay. :hug:

:hug: Ari. Keep counting, love.

J.P., thank you for the compliment. :) I... well, I don't know what to say.

Today is day 84. (I think. It might be day 83. I agree with Squiggle, I've a shockingly bad memory. I do have a written count going though, so that helps.)

One day at a time and not in the AA sense. But in God's view. He is eternal and we are not. He says that "His mercies are new every morning." That means we start over every day. One, One, One, One, etc...., is just fine. You can add them up later on.
mamalonglegs cheering you on!
