Balance 2020

Life in Recovery

Hi there, I feel a little bit stressed. Our government gets fear due to the death numbers going up and up, even to this Lockdown light. So each land starts to do its own thing leading to only confusion what we can do, still, not do.

Still, I will have some thoughts of all the positive things or things I learned in 2020.

What about your balance 2020?

The biggest positive for me this year has without a doubt been my sobriety, it made everything bearable and took away a lot of my anxiety.

  • I’m slowly learning who I am without drugs
  • I’ve dealt with my health, which was always put off to another day.
  • Ive learnt the art of accepting that im not always okay.
  • I found here, a safe place.
  • I went to rehab something I couldn’t of done if I wasn’t working from home.
  • I found self love, loving myself has restored a lot of positives vibes back into myself.

I’ve been attending more Zoom religious services than before Covid restrictions.
Another balance this year is that I have been keeping busy with old and new hobbies.
Also, I’m grateful/thankful that I’m retired and don’t need to be responsible for on-line teaching. I do feel very badly for the kids, parents, and educational institutions.

For me 2020 has been a year of ALOT of self discovery. I was sooo lost for so long. It’s been great to learn who I am again. And my sobriety during 2020 has saved my life. I was a deep worrier when I was drinking the stress and anxiety would of finished me off with the covid pandemic like it is. Still finding new bits of me but 2020 has been a year of great self growth :pray:t2::two_hearts:
