thanks for saying this. I've been thinking about this too...
honestly, I haven't had the occasion to do the self-care stuff because for the past 50 days I have been managing getting used to just being sober. I had to get through anxiety and all of those things, so I was literally day to day. Now that I have normalled out a bit, I am seeing what my REAL triggers are.
I have a friend who is addicted to pedicures...
