Hi mm

when I get down I try and force myself out the door - get a little sun on me.

I also try and surround myself with normality - even washing dishes can be therapeutic. I watch old TV shows or movies I like.

The difference nowadays is I know the low mood will pass - it's just a bad day or few days. not bad months or years like it was in active addiction.

coming up on 60 days is a great milestone too - but a lot of people feel a little down around anniversaries

I think maybe it's a little too soon to see a lot of real change to our lives but often just long enough to forget the bad parts of addictions?

I had to work on patience.

I had to accept that just stopping smoking wasn't going to solve all my problems .

I wanted to be fixed NOW...not in 6 months time and that was frustrating.

I'm glad I stuck with it tho - and I know you will be too MM
