ALWAYS KEEP YOUR GUARD UP

I just realized this morning that it is 2 yrs today that I am clean.
I wanted to tell you this because it is so important that we know that we can never let our guard down, just this morning I was thinking how nice it would be to get some crack, I could actually taste it and was starting to get excited about it.
This thought pattern only lasted about a couple of minutes but don't you think it is unbelievable that I would be thinking this way, it sure is for me, two years , two months, two days , the possibility is always there but I have an arsenal of tools to fight with now.
I am not at this moment on the floor looking for something that I might have dropped. I am not staring at the shadows on the wall thinking someone is going past my window. I am not getting up to stare out the front window over and over and over again. I am at this moment doing something that I am beginning to love and soon I will be taking my dog to the park and I know this wouldn't be happening if I was getting high.
You have things you would rather be doing too, find them and take in every moment of a clean life, compare it in a safe manner to what you would be doing if you were to be getting high, don't you just love yourself being clean, isn't it great?.
Fight for that feeling, load up that arsenal of tools that you'll be needing to stay clean and do it, please just give yourself a chance and you'll see that you are worth it to yourself and everyone that loves you and that misses you.
We were not who we appeared to be on drugs now show your real self and shine.

"We were not who we appeared to be on drugs now show your real self and shine." This is such a powerful statement -- and an excellent reminder to all. Your writing really hits a nerve. --D
