Good post - thanks. When I came back to recovery 44 days ago, this place was where I first reached out for help. And Thank God everyone here was so welcoming. But, for me, I knew from a previous stint of sobriety, and a pretty good quality one, that I not only needed to go back to AA, but jump in wholeheartedly with both feet. I;ve gone from dreading going back to AA, to very much looking forward to a meeting every day. Have three different places I go nearby, and each has their own flavor so to speak. Hard to beat a daily hour of free therapy !!! Well, OK $ 1.0. :-)
Secondly - exercise exercise exercise !!! I am in the gym daily, and then either running, biking, or swimming. Being an endorphin junkie I guess is a lot more socially accepted vs. being falling down drunk .... :-)
Have a great Sunday !!! MJM
