Some days I just have to keep putting one foot in front of the other and try to make myself get stuff done. I just take things a little bit at a time, otherwise I get overwhelmed.
The body is healing. It takes a while to sort itself out. That's what I'm holding on to. I have only been sober since July 1 so I'm in the healing process myself.
BrokenChains, Congratulations on 27 days, and you will get your energy back in a couple of months. Hang in there and welcome to recovery. Life is going to get so good for you. Be proud of yourself for the few weeks you have clean. :ghug3
