The last 3 days we have given ourselves the gift of more time. On Day 1, we focused on being aware of the time we have been gifted simply by removing the alcohol and substances standing in our way.
On day 2, we were gifted with still more time as we became aware of the countless hours which were stolen from us when our minds went to regret… into a past we could not change.
On day 3, we were gifted still more time as we became aware of the additional countless hours which were stolen when our minds went to fear and worry… into a future that has not even happened.
Today, focus on being completely present. Feel your feet on the ground. Focus on the beauty of your breath. Feel the air nourish your body as you breath in. Feel the anxiety and negative thoughts wash away with your exhale.
Be mindful of everything you do today. The opposite of mindfulness is mindlessness. So many of us go through the day in automatic pilot and often forget what we did.
Make everything you do with complete mindfulness. Make your coffee with mindfulness. Be mindful when you get dressed for the day. Be grateful and present with the ability to put on fresh clothes.
In our active addiction, we put substances in our body to get out of the now… and so we lost time. That lost time we will never get back. Be done with it. It’s OK. Never regret the past. It is wasted energy. That’s not you today. Today, is a new day.
Experience everything. Are there birds chirping outside your window? If you are outside, what do you see? Are the trees blossoming?
For most of us, we never lived in the present. When you live in the present, things slow down and have more meaning.
Relax and enjoy your day. You are clear now. You are facing life on life’s terms. The sober you is beautiful.

I struggle at times with mindfulness especially when certain dates trigger me from last year & other life traumas, I get a foggy brain easily & my thoughts begin to roam in every which direction and on everything, I’ve been spiritually working on reaching out to my past ancestors to help heal me & calm my mind, body, heart & soul & hopefully with high faith & belief & DBT classes I can move forward in each moment as it is.
