Man today I just felt so exhausted for no reason. Kept pushing myself to do things. Just drained in all aspects. I did have a couple of craves today and it was soooo hard but I did it. Just ready to shower and lay it down.
Good work Alishia. One day at a time
Thanks Matt. It really is right now.
Just what the doctor prescribed:
I don’t know about you, but a good binge is, for me, a great way to pass the time. I started giving myself permission to do anything that is safe and legal, to stay sober. Eat pizza 3 days in a row? No problem. Go for drives or walks or bike rides for no reason, listening to music for hours? No problem. Binge Netflix all day? Fine! Honestly - fine.
Be late on my taxes because the deadline was stressing me out, and stress sets me up for relapse? Yes. I was late on my taxes. I will pay a small fine. But I am sober.
You have permission to do anything that’s safe and legal, to stay sober.
Take care and never give up. You are worth it. You are a good person who deserves a safe, sober life where you can be your full self.
