Gosh, I know what you are saying is true. I always feel better once I actually get going, I have 37 days sober, going to all my meetings, reading, praying and working hard on my sobriety, but still lacking the motivation to clean my house. It's not messy enough to be on "How clean is your house" or hoarders, I still make dinner and wash clothes, even change the toilet paper roll, but that is about it. I've actually gotten a little messier since sobering up...no longer rewarding myself with booze for productivity. I know I need to snap out of it, but I also don't want to beat myself up over it too much. Telling myself staying sober for one more day is way more impressive than any amount of housework I could do. Hopefully I'll get sick of living in visual chaos and become a recovering lazy too!
