Time

I am sure that everyone has heard of the saying: time heals all wounds. Well, time doesn't erase all wounds but time DOES help.
Last week, I sprained my ankle when I was running. I landed with my opposite knee on the pavement. This evening, I was looking at my knee and was noticing how much better it looks. Now obviously it doesn't look normal but it is healing, there are scabs, and it doesn't hurt nearly as bad.
I have noticed the same thing with my withdrawal from my addiction. Today I actually felt good! Happy, looking forward to the future, and so extraordinarily proud of myself for the progress I have made in the past 37 days. I read somewhere that it takes 90 days of abstinence for your brain to break an addiction: this evening, my therapist pointed out that I am almost halfway there. On Monday, it will be 6 weeks. I thank God everyday for my strength, perseverance, and His support! ❤
