Great Job Daniellegurl.
Those first few days/ weeks are a real bitch.
Have you heard of HALT ?
Sometimes we forget what’s really going on like have I eaten. And I tired.
There’s also great thread Brian started on how he uses it. It’s good reading.
For those who don’t know halt is an acronymn for Hungry Angry Lonely Tired. The idea is to use this acronym as a tool to recognize what is troubling you and likely causing you to relapse or putting yourself at risk of one. If you have one or many of these symptoms left untreated for too long you likely won’t be feeling very happy or healthy.
For myself this was a tool I used heavily earlier in my recovery and worked quite hard at ridding myself of the anger part. Lately as I close in on 700 day…
Hang in there.
Great job reaching out.
