My life today is better

Today is Sunday the day of rest I take today and look back on the week that has gone by and the past years. Wow what a week,MY Dr. gave me great news I have my meds covered by the drug company for a whole year no excuse not to stay clean I started a bedroom and finished it from top to bottom even the floor .I look at it and say ya Kim you did that on your own and it looks great ..I started by taking down the old wallpaper in places and repairing the the walls sanding here and there going back and redoing places that quit weren't right yet .Then I ask Jaime about the colors that would go on the walls trim and ceiling she gave me her input and used some of her ideas and used some of my own ..Went out bought the paint and started painting and has covered the areas I thought about what it would look like when done either I could do a half ass job or do it right I chose the right way took more time but it looks like a I cared to do it right makes me feel good .Then on the the touch up and boy its still not done will be finding places that need some forever .I told Jaime that I wanted to redo the hardwood floor in the bedroom and was going to rent a big floor sander she said don't I could ruin the floor I almost did go out and rent the big floor sander but thought about what could happen so didn't.. Instead I took a small sander on my hands and knees and did the floor ..Sure it took more time but I didn't ruin the floor ( I listened to some one else ) I put the final coat on the floor last night and its dry this morning .I look at the floor I just refinished and the floors in the rest of the house ..Boy the one I just did sure looks good not perfect but better a lot better . This whole job I did I this week gave me some insight into my recovery .I am a work in progress the sum total of everywhere everything I have done .I cant go back and redo where I have been or done but I can only move ahead and make my life better and be proud of what I'm doing now ..Sure there will be touch up and more walls to clean paint and fix ..Today I finished one room in my home ..I love this forum and people I have found here thank you for your support and everything you do for we all are addicts and we need each other.


Thank you
