I thought: I've had these addictive tenancies and compulsions with so many things (alcohol, weed, porn, drugs, sex etc.etc.), so I need to find a healthy activity that satisfies these urges. I've found exercise and spirituality two good places to start. After meditating for a while, I started challenging my own self-limiting beliefs - I took a Zoom drawing class at the weekend, after telling myself for years and years: you cannot draw And guess what? I still can't, but it was sure as hell fun, and I'm going to keep trying 
What's your next step FreeOwl? Thanks, Resurgence.
My next step - for today, is to focus on getting some tasks done that I've long neglected, to spend this day with a positive attitude, to exercise gratitude and to be present with my wife and kids.
I'm at that one-day-at-a-time step and though I know it's not nearly as shaky ground as alcohol - I'm not worried or in a place of fear about it. I'm in a place of empowerment and I will remain there.
Thank you
