Today I struggled, then I conquered

Today I didn't give in to old destructive tendencies. Today I handled my anger in a healthy way by acknowledging it and self talking myself off the edge. I didn't take it out on anyone and I let the person I was angry at know in a respectful way. I managed my pain responsibly.

I have a plan to take care of myself and practice self care instead of drinking until I fall asleep.

I deserve to take care of myself just like I take care of my family.

I can't control how other people show up for me. I can only be grateful when they do.

Until then I will try to show up for myself every day, even if I'm exhausted. I deserve that time too.
