This is a where i need to not break. My brain is now super super hyper, drinking was self medicating for so many years, I’ve alway suffered from over active brain.
I need to tire myself out, stay focused. Remember the different mantras i have told myself throughout the last 4 days; cause alcohol wants to trick me into thinking okay you feel fine… seeeeee im not that bad…. It is a fucking liar.
I too have an overactive brain! So good that you see it. But it is a challenge to deal with it, for sure! Keeping busy is a good strategy. I’ve also tried to cultivate “the art of the pause”. When my thoughts start to jerk me around, to stop and breathe and observe. Mindfulness meditation has helped me too, just to sit and breathe and observe my thoughts coming and going.
Anyway, I’m rooting for you!
