Having Faith

June 26, 2019

The last couple of days have been difficult in my recovery.

No, I have not wanted to use, but I find myself growing frustrated, impatient, even angry with people, stuffing emotions out of fear. I am becoming withdrawn, resentments are surfacing, feelings of self-pity emerging.

By surrendering my self-will, I try my best to place my faith in my Higher Power for the results, but I cannot control those around me or outcomes – life on life’s terms – and that is good.

Relapse is a process and I am thankful I can recognise these warning signs.

I must establish boundaries and let go of expectations.

Today, I ask my Higher Power for strength and courage to talk to those around me and get back on my recovery track.

I left the hateful rhetoric of Facebook to come here to carry a message of hope and healing I'm in recovery from addiction and rebuilding a life filled with purpose and creativity. Whether I'm playing the piano, baking, gardening, or knitting, I’ve found healing in the simple, meaningful moments. Buzz Kill Diaries is where I share honest reflections on recovery - one day at a time.
