LOOKING FORWARD FIG. 2
Journal Entry: Day 52 Today’s different. My mind still races, but not nearly as much. Definitely different, much more aware. I saw the moon last night. Even noticed the stars. I don’t remember them being so vibrant. And, I can’t remember the last time I looked at them. Hell, I can’t remember the last time I looked up. A few of us were hanging out last night, talking. We laughed! I mean like tears running down your face, laughed. Damn that felt good. They’re telling me I’m ready for the next phase. That I’ll be leaving soon. It makes me uneasy. My Case Manager’s been helping a lot. We’ve got a plan.

“Slow and steady,” he says. He’s like a broken record, “Slow and steady.” There’s still a lot to do. I’m going to miss this place. I never imagined that I’d miss residential treatment. I was so out of my head those first few days. I can’t believe they put up with me… Thank God they didn’t give up on me. Yeah, today’s different. Definitely different.
