I can totally relate to the "had plans and didn't do any of them" tale. When I got up enough energy to think that very thing, I felt like crap when I hauled off and didn't get up and "do." I spent alot of time reading and reading and reading and then more reading. Not much socializing AT ALL. But like I said, I spent alot of time reading everything I could about recovery. I had to learn to CUT MYSELF A LITTLE SLACK. I had to learn to quit getting down on myself for not "accomplishing" this and that. That was NOT easy but over time I have learned to not be so harsh with myself and treat myself with the same kind, gentle, compassionate way I would a dear, sick friend. I think we all can behave harshly with ourselves and need to change that.
