Today I am struggling. There is no shame in that. There are going to be days like this. It's important for me to understand a month of recovery only goes so far. My life does not become perfect just because I've decided to get help.
I've been using a few slogans to help me get through my days and disappointments such as the one I experienced today. "Progress, not Perfection" "It may not be okay, but it is okay to feel." "I am enough". As I try to convince myself that I am deserving of happiness and that life will get better, I'll leave you guys with some other helpful slogans.
ACA Slogans:
ACA is Simple but it is Not Easy
Live Beyond Mere Survival
There is Another Way to Live
One Day at a Time
Easy Does It
Keep it Simple
Progress Not Perfection
First Things First
This Pain Too Shall Pass
Let Go. Let God.
Keep Coming Back
Name It, Don’t Blame It
Ask for Help and Accept It
Pray and Pray Harder
Don’t Just Do Something. Sit There.
Be Still and Know.
There is no Healing without Feeling
