Hey, everyone!!!
Well, it's been 57 days since my last post, but who's counting, right?
To update all of you who've kept me in your prayers and may be wondering where the heck I am... I decided to stay in treatment for an additional 28 days. I've had no Internet access until yesterday, when I reupped for an additional 28 days.
I'm now in one of the "Butterfly" houses, which is a halfway house owned by my treatment center. It's absolutely beautiful, with a lagoon-like pool and garden area, and I LOVE it here. My roomates are two of the "younger chicas" I've been in treatment with.
My husband and I are going to start marriage counseling this coming Friday, and I'm really excited about our future. He's been completely supportive of my continuing treatment, and is starting to plan fun things for us to do once I come home. I'll probably transition from this house to one with a little more freedom, and just take it as it comes, one day at a time.
I'm so unbelievably happy! I'm rediscovering who I am, learning to accept and love myself, flaws and all, and am really working on my character defects and core issues. I've also reconnected with my Higher Power, and now really am able to believe that He loves and accepts me and cherishes me right now, as I am. I am ENOUGH. For the first time in my life, I'm really able to say this and more importantly, believe it.
We're having the girls over from the other Butterly house for a 4th of July party, and they've just arrived, so I'm going to sign off for now. More, later...
I love you all. Thanks so much for your comments, your prayers, and your love, support and encouragement. You are and will continue to be a huge part of my recovery.
XOXO (((HUGS)))

I'm so happy for you. Wish you all the best.
I am soi choked up right now. You remind me so much of myself, when I went to Casa, then lived in Sober Living after treatment. How the World was so colorful and living in it, what a gift.
May ou continue on this beautiful path. You sound so reborne, God has tapped you on your shoulder with his Grace and love . . . ok, it was always there but somethimes we being the lost ones fail to embrace this. Not you, not today, not now, you are so ALIVE!
Oh you tickle my soul, thank you.
Love,
SC
