I find exercise to be the best anxiety medication by far. I just did spin then yoga and it was awesome. I would usually walk my dog a few miles but I'm actually kinda tired. I think I'm starting to feel my age. Sucks. But I'll continue on with shampooing my yucky carpets. On to my room.
I have a dog and a cat so if I didn't vacuum I'd choke on fur! And I also find vacuuming very meditative. Yeah, I'm weird.
Its amazing that you are really doing the deal O...all the IOP and meetings. Very dedicated. And very cool that they aren't just preaching 12 step, for a bunch of money. I think rehabs and IOP's should offer a little more, or at least something different, for the stunning prices they charge. But ya know, I'm so glad these places are here for us. No doubt rehab saved my life. If for no other reason than it kept me safe from myself.
Have a great day!
