I'm going to tackle it next week. I'm a pretty "type a" person and I'm trying to cut myself some slack this week. Hope everyone's doing ok

Good morning, all! And happy Mother's Day. I'm being treated to pancakes this morning, by the children, so a good start to day six. No real plans for the day. It's not looking great weather-wise, so not sure that I'll make a lot of progress with the table project. Bug, was it you planning to find a hobby? That sounds an idea. I have my sewing machine set up always, but haven't done a thing with it in ... an age. I could do with a new bag. Perhaps I'll put that on the agenda today.
Welcome, JoJo and Pierce. And well done, Ben! That's a big step.

Not being on this site as often or posting has been a really miss. Also I'm fretting about coming back home. A real trigger time for me. I guess I'll mentally plan my return and try to keep my sobriety at the front of my mind. I am DETERMINED to get to Monday morning sober and start a new week feeling positive. Big love to you all out there dde0adde0adde0a
You're going to feel so proud of yourself come Monday. I've been trying to find busy work to help keep me occupied. I actually set up a puzzle table today. Wow. First time, like, ever.
Wishing all a great night/day - and happy mommy day to those of you to whom it applies

Hey guys,
Just checking in. Another beautiful, sunny day here, but I am just too unmotivated and depressed to appreciate it. I am so tired of losing days because I never feel good enogh or interested enough to do anything. But, I'm hanging in there. Going to try and watch some shows I dvr'd and post here a little. For today, I'm safe and I plan on hiding.
I need to recharge before Mother's day tomorrow, and I need to eat, but am having a tough time with the food.
Anyone have any idea on how I could stimulate my appetite?

Start small, something so small you don't even notice
Over time, on days when you don't feel so good or feel like doing much, you can say to yourself, "well, I did do X and X," and you feel a little better
In my last rut, all I was doing was going to work, getting fast food on the way home, and watching TV
I started getting out of it by making my bed every day, no joke!
