I'm with matty on this one. And I have had many talks with him about this exact subject.
I think it is normal and healthy to live without obsessing about recovery. Like matty said. There will be a balance. Yes, we have to remnd ourselves everyday that using or drinking isnt an option. But it doesnt have to be all you think about and do every waking moment.
Its not a bad thing. Its what your suppose to do. Ease back into living your life like you should do. I think for me , obsessing about recovery and being all about it every second is just as bad a s when I was using.
It sounds to me your on the right track.
Its ok to forget about recovery for a moment to live life.
Just be sure to always have it handy. And always remember everyday what it is that your living for now.
