Nocellphone...great post!
When I began recovery I was manifesting physical symptoms caused by stress. That was a wake up call for me as I take my health fairly seriously.
Going to as many meetings as possible, sometimes 5 a week, for 6 years I was able to put that toolbelt you refer to together and today it is never far from my reach. On a daily basis I "suit-up and show up" and I keep my radar pointed inward instead of outward.
Just recently I found myself discontented and critical...a sure sign that I was veering off to places I don't choose to go anymore. I am the only one that can get me back to where I belong.
Sorry...I veered a little off-topic too
