Word of the Day - Imperious

My life was centered around and ruled by drugs.  The imperious urge to find and get more by all means necessary.  I may have not gotten arrested and there a certainly things that I had not done yet, but as my disease progressed so did what I would do to get the next one.

I am so grateful that, today, I do not have to live my life one hit at a time.  Cravings still pop up now and then however, today I have tools to keep me from acting on those cravings.  

In recovery, there will be cravings (crazy thoughts too).  With the support of my friends and family and by being honest with what I am going through I can push through those cravings and stay clean - one day at a time
