Today Is a New Day — Don’t Give Up

By Krisstee Pierce

Good morning, beautiful souls.

If you woke up today feeling heavy, tired, or overwhelmed—you’re not alone. Whether you’re on Day 1 of sobriety or Year 20, some days just hit different. The important thing is this: you woke up. You’re still here. You’re still fighting. And that matters.

Maybe nobody told you today how proud they are of you. So let me be the first:

I’m proud of you.

Proud of every craving you resisted.

Proud of every time you said “no” when everything in you wanted to say “yes.”

Proud of how you’re rebuilding your life, one step, one prayer, one deep breath at a time.

God Sees You

God doesn’t need perfection—He wants your heart. He sees your struggle, your progress, your tears in the middle of the night when no one else does. He’s not disappointed in you. He’s not giving up on you. He’s waiting with open arms, whispering, “Keep going, my child. You’ve got this.”

When I was in the darkest season of my life—hooked, hurt, and hopeless—I thought I had ruined everything. But God had other plans. He picked me up, piece by piece. And if He did it for me, He’ll do it for you.

Today’s Affirmations

Let’s speak some truth over this day:

    •    I am worthy of healing and happiness.

    •    I choose peace over chaos.

    •    I forgive myself and embrace progress, not perfection.

    •    God is restoring everything that addiction tried to steal from me.

    •    Today, I will love myself the way God loves me: fully and unconditionally.

Don’t Quit Before the Miracle

Every moment you stay clean, you’re planting seeds. And I promise you—your harvest is coming. Stay grounded. Stay grateful. Stay connected to people who lift you up and remind you of who you really are.

You are not alone. You are not too far gone. You are not broken—you are becoming.

Let’s walk this journey together, one day at a time.

You matter. You are loved. And your best days are still ahead.

If this blog speaks to you, share it with someone who might need the reminder today. Let’s lift each other up we’re stronger together.
