Clean.

Clean.

A Story by Hickory Dickory

Day 1 of being clean.
I'm starting this journey for myself. I want to be clean. I'm sick of it, sick of the addictive feeling it gives me each time I do it. I will be clean.
Day 5 of being clean.
Would you look at that! That's almost one whole week! It might not seem like a lot, but I've never lasted this long before! The urge is still there, but ignoring it is getting easier.
Day 7 of being clean.
One week! I did it! One whole week! It's strange how easy it's getting. I hope I can keep this up!
Day 10 of being clean.
TEN WHOLE DAYS! This is amazing! Who'd have thought I could make it this far! I think I'm getting addicted to being clean now.
Day 30 of being clean.
A month! I've been clean for a month! I think I'm slowly starting to find genuine happiness again. And you know what, I'm gonna be clean for life, so I can keep this happiness.
Day 90 of being clean.
It's amazing to think how far I've come. I am so happy, genuinely happy. I want to be this happy forever, and I will.
Day 100 of being clean.
One hundred days. One hundred days. 100 days. That's all I've been thinking all day, is how I've been clean for 100 days. I'm so proud of myself, and I know that I can keep going!
Day 150 of being clean.
The urges are getting less stronger each day, and they're less often as well. I think I've done it. I've beaten my addiction. All that's left is to keep going.
Day 350 of being clean.
I'm so close to a year, I have to keep going. Stay clean. I can't relapse now. The urges are coming back, but I can't give in. Not after it's been so long.
Day 364 of being clean.
It will be a year tomorrow. I can't get rid of these urges, but I must keep going. I've come too far to give up.
Day 365 of being clean.
Day 0 of being clean.
...Relapse is a part of recovery, right?
