you gotta start somewhere

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" - Lao Tzu

I have a silver ring with that quote on it, I wear it almost daily.  It reminds me that no matter what I am facing, be it big or small, everything in life can be dealt with just one step at a time.  The most difficult problems and challenges were all solved by starting somewhere.

So that's how I'm (trying to) facing my current giant messed-up-life challenge.  Addiction to crack cocaine and heroin - trying to stay clean & sober, manage my eating disorder, manage my depression, anxiety, PTSD.  Oh- and did I mention parent four kids, two of whom have special needs?

One foot in front of the other.
One step at a time.
