Top 5 things I’m doing for my recovery
☆Morning recovery reading
☆Meditation and prayer each morning outside
☆AA meetings on my lunch break
☆Fellowship with recovering addicts/alcoholics in life and on this forum
☆Art and gardening therapy
My 5 personal reasons for getting sober
●mental health (depression/anxiety, wanting to die)
●spiritual health (lost soul, low self-esteem, no connection)
●physical health (3 day hangovers, no energy, putting myself in dangerous situations)
●no longer wanted to be ruled by obsession, fear, self-hatred, this person I had become that wasn’t the real me.
●wanted a life of happiness, hope, purpose. I had experienced it before and knew it existed.
5 positive things I’ve noticed since abstaining from alcohol, crack, and cocaine
I am so happy 95% of the time
I don’t fear the past or future. I live for today only.
Clear skin and eyes
Mental, spiritual, and emotional clarity. I can see the truth for what it really is.
Quality and content living based on honesty, integrity, and gratitude.
