Hi Kirsty,

I remember when I was in early recovery, somebody asked me to write down a list of a hundred things that I loved doing just for me. I couldn't even name five.

But I kept that list, and as things occurred to me, I wrote them down. I finally did get to a hundred eventually. Took me a while LOL

They didn't have to be big things, like flying to exotic places. They could also be little stuff, like a hot soak in a vanilla-scented bubble bath, or those ten minutes of delicious reading I can fit in right before I fall asleep, or eating a single perfect strawberry.

This was the first step at really getting to know myself finally. And I learned that I wasn't so bad as I'd always tried to convince myself

What do YOU love?
