Music has always been my switch off - either listening or playing....a good movie is great too...lately I've discovered the recuperative powers of exercise....
Each of us has to find our own way to deal. My mind used to run at a million miles an hour - it seems to have eased back a little in the years since I got sober - maybe I'm not trying to do as much as I used to?
Life is life - there are good days and bad - some days I'll glide through gracefully, other days I'll slide on my butt...
whatever else I do, I know there's one option that's forever off the table now
