Share something POSITIVE from your day vs. it's all around you

So I've been using phenibut more often than I should, every other day pretty much for a while, sometimes 2 days in a row. Last time I used it was Tuesday... I realized today that I don't want to become dependent on something again. I've been feeling a little down the past 2 days also, it's not withdrawal, just that I had gotten used to using phenibut to help me cope with negative emotions again (I did get addicted to it years ago). And right now I have sadness I am working through because the girl I mentioned a few posts up is gone for months and out of cell service range, and I also have some money stress because of my cat getting hospitalized (vet care is damn expensive), so there are things I have to deal with that aren't positive in nature.

But the positive is that I've resisted phenibut and I have decided to take a substantial break from it. It's a handy tool to use sometimes (for a party, occasional nice boost, etc), but I've come so far in learning to deal with my negative emotions without opiates, and I need to maintain that and make sure I can do it without any drugs.

Another positive is that my good friend and I just made plans for him to come over tonight... I'm gonna make some dinner and he's gonna bring dessert, it'll be fun. :) It always helps me to spend time with people I care about.
 
Fantastic to see someone I've known for years but never met <3

Isn't that awesome? 3 of my closest friends I knew for years as Bluelighters before we ended up living in the same town and met in person. I hang out with one of them probably 3 or 4 times a week, I rarely think about the fact that we met on here anymore but it's amazing that we likely never would have met without Bluelight, and now they're a part of my life. <3
 
In all these years I've never met a BLer face to face....now I have
