Today, and for the last 188 days, I have experienced something different than before. I have reflected on what has changed. The only word I can find to describe the 189 days that have made up my recovery journey so far is perserverance.
The definition of perserverance in terms of recovery is, “In mental health, perseverance is the capacity to maintain motivation and resilience toward personal or recovery goals despite setbacks.”
I haven’t been good every day. They has been crises, risk incidents and tears. It hasn’t been straightforward.
I have got myself this far…. Im not ever throwing that away!
I have had days that I lacked motivation yet i stayed in recovery and moved forwards, bouncing back to my happier self quicker each time.
And for that….. I’m PROUD!
