. . . of negativity.
This has been one of my greatest obstacles in recovery.
Things that help me: deep breathing, exercise, meditation, guided relaxation, watching movies and reading books (these two can also be harmful with the "wrong" subject matter), things that make me laugh, CBT/REBT.
Trying to learn to catch the negative thoughts before they take hold.
For others who have issues with negativity, how do you deal with it? If you've been sober for a long time, does it tend to fade away? Before this last relapse, I had around five months sober, but it seemed like the negativity was going up and up. I know it's something I need to learn to cope with if I want lasting sobriety.
Anyhow, Day 9 today, and it's a good day to be sober.
