Good Morning Sobrinators!

Having my Sunday morning coffee and making my list. Recently discovered I have 'mild to moderate' ADHD, and have found that if I don't write down the things I intend to get done during a day then when the evening comes I wonder why I didn't get anything done all day. Then I get frustrated and anxious. Then my AV starts looking for traction. If I write it down I am more likely to do it. Thus I get more productivity and less AV with a simple list.

One of my favorite parts of sobriety has been learning how to deal with my sometimes uncooperative brain. Working through and resolving the stresses and frustrations instead of drowning them. It can be a puzzle, but one that I am solving.

There was an excellent post by ToddE1 in Secular Connections recently that sums up my recovery approach nicely. Posting a link because I think it's worth a read - especially if you are struggling with finding a program for sober living that works for you.
