Hello-
Day 7 here... Working on getting my garage cleaned out. I had brought stuff up from the basement for a rummage that never happened. Keeping busy helps the AV stay quiet. I don't go back to work till Tuesday so I'm feeling safe from most of the things that trigger me
:For SS and others who are on the first couple days... It's hard. Really hard. The things that helped me the most was not allowing my self to wallow in shame, guilt and hurt. I aknowledged it, but kept telling myself I would revisit it when I was stronger. Not easy but just keep focusing on pushing it to the side for now. I focused on the basics drinking water, eating and rest. That was all I could muster. Just do what you can and hang on and stay close. I think the biggest reason I relapsed is I was reading here but not posting. Just knowing someone is out there in the same boat as you is very reassuring
