What Are You (yes, YOU) Doing TODAY For Your RECOVERY?

House chores.

Posting here, and trying to support some folks in their struggles.

Preparing for a job interview next Wednesday for a position that would be a considerable step up in complexity in my line of work. As well as it will confront me with people (managers and colleagues) I haven’t seen and spoken to for over ten years, from a time I fucked up my job (which could have had some bad consequences) and my own education. When I was in my worst period of addiction without realizing it. It will be something. Whatever happens it will be good for me and my recovery.

My plans for today as a day 4 have been just to get through this day. Still sober, although I have still terrible cravings.

I had to give myself a motivational talking to this morning. So much yucky crap floating around in my brain.

  • I got out of bed to face the day.
  • I did some journalling
  • I talked back to my negative voice
  • I went to gym

Yes, like @RoseCityRonin says, take it one day at a time, and even take it one minute at a time!

Keep “tomorrow you” in your head. He’ll be so glad, methinks, to wake up sober and clear-headed.
And be proud of your 4 days, friend. That’s huge. :smiling_face: :muscle: :orange_heart:

Prayer.

Shame, guilt, low self esteem and all the other negative thoughts and feelings that drive addiction and bad behaviours do not come from God. Which means they come from you know who.
