Good post Gneiss.
I use mindfulness and meditation to aid my recovery, I also just applied to do some volunteer work and am going to see a Psychiatrist about my mental problems soon (I hope)...for me to stay sober I need to change and be active (I find both very hard cos I am lazy).
I don't think I stand much chance if I don't try to change in some ways.
SR is also part of recovery of course.
There are things I want to do that would help, like eat better and exercise but I haven't got around to them yet, lol.
