It's day four. Very early days yet. Just going to relax for the minute. Recovery my body, I had a few falls, chafing on my recent bender.
Might go have a strong coffee. I suppose there's a long day ahead. I can make small choices to improve my life. Though it's getting dark earlier from tonight.

Brushed my teeth, listened to more of This Naked Mind. Think that might be the height of my productivity today. Maybe I'll take a shower. Tomorrow will be better. I think I'm depressed lol.
Early days are tough. I'd go for a walk but my thighs are chafing.

The patch does work well though. I had to be on it in hospital when they weren't letting us out to smoke because of covid. It helped a lot.

Plus I live with my parents who don't drive. It'd be nice to be able to taxi them places as they're getting on, but that means being sober at all times. Would feel like I'm looking after them after they looked after me for so long.

I left the meeting early. People had arrived and were chatting before the meeting started and my paranoid ass was examining everything they said for hidden meanings relating to me. :/ Not sure I'm in the right headspace for AA right at this minute.
I'll continue listening to This Naked Mind. This Naked Mind, SR, meditation, prayer, exercise will have to be the cornerstones of my recovery until my mental state settles down a little.
Mostly I'm so relieved to be through the worst of withdrawal and I don't want to go down that road again.

I used to swear my addiction was smarter than I was. My brain was always able to find reasons - really quite reasonable valid sounding reasons - why I couldn’t do something about my addiction.
Eventually tho it was change or die - and I found I could use my intelligence and resourcefulness to get around the obstacles that had stopped me before.
I hope you can find a way to do that too.
