For the first time in recovery
I am having proper rest
After a long work week, I choose to enjoy my day off instead of working part time
After a long day, I choose to stay home to rest or sleep instead of staying out
The feeling I had after a long day at work was a familiar one
I was restless and want to engage in other activity
But this feeling changes to one of calm and peace when I woke up after a good night rest
Giving myself rest was something new
When the mind and body is tired, it become weak ,vulnerable and invite triggering thoughts and struggles.
Life without the gambling, and alcohol was good
Gratitude and contentment returns
Fear, insecurity and the ” I want more” ” it is not enough” feelings goes away
