Hi SJ. You sound tired? Living in true recovery can seem so hard to do and you can get discouraged. Again, the one-day-at-a-time mantra is useful, I think, and your post ends in that way ‘for the moment, I am making a good decision …’
Also, I just thought ‘what are you doing to care for yourself in a special way? is there some fun? is there some really enjoyable thing, no matter how simple, you can focus on, for your own pleasure and well-being?’
Just my thoughts as I read your post. Sometimes we can concentrate too hard on the ‘problems’, so that our minds are just too full of those – switching to thinking about and doing totally different things may ease the pressure.
Best wishes,
Monique
