⠀
HAPPY. Someone asked me the other day how I was doing and without even thinking about it, for the first time in over a year I answered “I’m happy” and it was the truth. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
For so much of 2019 I was still swimming in a pond of trying to figure out how to navigate everything that was thrown at me the day I found out about Jim’s addiction in late 2018. There were moments when I didn’t know if I would be here the next day. Moments when I wanted to end it all. Moments when I wasn’t sure we’d survive this financially. Moments when I wasn’t sure if I could eat that week. Times when I was sure our marriage wouldn’t survive his addiction or my overwhelming feeling of betrayal. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
I had struggled with anxiety and depression long before Jim picked up heroin. But I spiraled once I was faced with the fact that everything I had known for so long was just not what I thought. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
He has handled recovery with so much strength that I can’t help but be inspired by him. In a few days he will have been clean for 15 months. I’m proud of him and I’m happy for us. And while it wasn’t our finest hour. I don’t know that I’d change it. Which might sound crazy. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
The truth is it brought us closer. It made our marriage stronger. It forced me to pull strength from places I didn’t know I had. It showed me what actually mattered in this world. It showed me who my friends were.⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
Do I still have bad days? YEP. Do I still struggle? YEP. Are there weeks when I wish our bank account would be a little more flush? YEP. But at the end of each and every day I finally lay my head down proud, grateful, and happy. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
If you love an addict, if you stay or you go, I want you to know that it will get better. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. <3 ⠀

All I’ve learned so far is that a bunch of 16 year old girls think they can take your mans if they want to but we’re SUPER lucky because they don’t want to 🤔⠀

There are 61 days left in 2019. I’ve set a goal to hit the gym and/or move my body for at least 50 of those days. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
There’s no weight loss goal attached. No punishment from holiday treats. Just plain ol’ movement. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
I need to move for my mental health. I need to move to remind myself how much I love this body. I need to move consistently to remind myself that I can be consistent. That I can set a goal and attain it. ⠀

Dearest @katiemcrenshaw as you lay down tonight and get ready to run the NEW YORK FUCKING CITY Marathon — for one I hope you know how cool that is. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
But I also hope you take some of the following things with you on for your 26.2 trek...⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
— the energy of every single one of us cheering you on ⠀
■ ⠀
— the knowledge that your children, especially your daughter, will hear this story one day and realize that their mama moved mountains and they can too ⠀
■ ⠀
— the faith that you can do this. You’ve trained for this. You are so much stronger than you know. ⠀
■ ⠀
— the ability to keep going when it gets tough because you can absolutely do hard things ⠀
■ ⠀
— pull strength from knowing that the second your feet hit that pavement you’re not only changing the narrative for so many women around what our bodies can do but you’re paving the way for each and every one us to make a goal and conquer it ⠀
■ ⠀
— you are powerful, you are strong, you are enough ⠀
■ ⠀
— a diaper because I’ve heard if you stop to pee your legs might stop working 🤣⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
I’m so proud of you and you’re gonna kill it!! Also I didn’t buy a #herbodycan shirt in time so like this cool looks like a Coca Cola ad creepy stalker pic I took will have to do 🤷🏼‍♀️⠀

⠀
I had to wait 300 years for a virgin to light a candle... so if you could double tap this photo that’s be great 👍🏻 ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
Also can you help me? So I’m in a group chat with @jmelee1221 @laurmcbrideblog and @lipglossandcrayons and EVERY time I’m gonna post a photo I go in there and I’m all HEYYYYY PICK ONE. And without fail Jamie and Lauren always pick the one I HATE. I’ve usually got Carly on my side 🤣 but I’m always like “am I broken?” “Is this why I suck at IG?” “You guys always pick what I hate” 😂😂😂⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
So between these two photos which would YOU pick? 1 being the first one and 2 being the one you swipe to. LEMME KNOW. ⠀
