new here
I am newly sober (a few days) and newly unemployed through no fault of my own, and at home and needing to reinvent my life. One big thing is recovery, staying busy, positive and sober. I had a bad day the day they let me go, but since then I don't want to be sick, itchy, shaky and a big fat liar.
I want to use this time this gap to focus on myself, to regain steady ground, to clean, garden and just take a breath. I have a plan, RR, AVRT, I have a psychiatrist and anti depressants, she's recommended practicing mindfulness which I am trying to do. I have lurked and learned, so yesterday I was able to sit in the parking lot of the store, cash in hand and talk/think my way out of another binge day.
I want to walk on the beach, swim every day this summer, revitalize some hobbies, lose weight,
and make some friends (not easy for a middle aged woman). :Thank you for listening.
