It has been another week!

But we keep going no matter what challenges are thrown at us. It is knowing that I can do more, but there are times when my anxiety flares up and wants to revert to old coping mechanisms. It is learning to be patient and allow things to happen before allowing my anxiety to overtake what I need to learn to do because nothing in life is guaranteed or for certain to happen. It is allowing myself to be more flexible while continuing to rebuild the friends and natural supports that I have shielded myself from in the past without explaining my fears or issues I had before getting on the right path.

I am understanding myself more and realizing that I need to work more towards the Leader in Recovery that I can be. I have come a long way in over those past six years since receiving that award. Now it is time to prove that I can be the person that I know I can be! Today, while going through my storage bins, I found a bin of old awards, and felt the need to dust the Leadership In Recovery Award from back in 2017 to remind myself of how far I have came since being bestowed the honor.
