Thumpa - Great recovery plan you're fleshing out. I was reminded tonight at my home group meeting of the recovery rule of thumb -- if it's a day of the week that you would have drank, then it's a day that you should work on recovery!
I don't have the luxury of going to a meeting every day I'd like to, so I'm glad I can come here!
I heard a song on the radio on the way home tonight. When I stopped drinking I was working with preschool aged children who napped every day. We'd turn off the lights and play easy listening music. The song on the radio tonight was on popular rotation during my early recovery.
I've been thinking often about the anhedonia I felt during those early days. I felt so dull. Everything seemed beige. It lasted for quite a while. When others would assure me that it would get better, I assumed it was by settling for a dull life. That's just not the case. AA helped me find ways to see color again and enjoy my life!
Lean on all the resources that come your way!
