Beginning today, was actually pretty relaxing figuring out my anxiety triggers and knowing to be sober is becoming a big part of my life now.I know if I take a drink it will ruin me and I think I’ve come to realize a lot. Tomorrow I begin my intensive outpatient program that I have become a part of realizing that I do need medication to keep me level and balance so I’m very excited about that as well overall today is becoming a very good day. Also want to say thank you to heart support so I can actually have the support and goodbyes being thrown my way which is have helped me out a lot. I guess the question at hand is what’s next what does this universe have for me?

I have an instant smile on my face to hear all of the amazing progress that you have been doing lately. I am so proud of you for journaling each day so that you can look back & see how far you have truly come & all of the hard work that you have done. It takes an extremely brave person to accomplish the things that you have so far & I have no doubt that you will continue to improve with each passing day.

You are important. You are valid. You are enough. You are strong. You matter.

If the words in my head rn can travel to my fingers as I type…I’d probably be able to type what I really feel.the fact y’all are “bombing” me with this support system I found through one of my greatest passion,MUSIC, is like listening to Howard Jones…only words of wisdom.there are so many people that need this support,they need to be heard,understood,and feel what I have received…I’m so grateful!!! I can honestly say I have friends…friends that don’t know what I look like,where I’m from,how,what,and the why…but still everyone’s dedication is imperative to one thing…this journey of sobriety,I choose …one day at a time…through these steps I’m taking now only prove something I’ve never experienced ever since I’ve come to realize that I am powerless…thank you so much…plz don’t ever stop what everyone is doing in heart support…I need you guys.
Much love, grateful for this new friendship,
Ryan.
