Thumbs up TOPIC: Is Anyone Squirrely Out There?

Squirrely, antsy....

Im sure we all have felt like this
at some point either in our lives
or in our recovery.

If you are or have been, then what
could make u be experiencing this?

Is there something healthy u can be
doing to help u settle down?

Would you like to share about it?

absolutely. more like freaking...exercise always helps me- gets the energy released for me and works well. Walk, run or bike- something aerobic to get the heart pumping is best i have found.

I am always froggy.

Ok wait..Whats a squirrel, an ant and a frog have in common? No punch line. Just my pathetic attempt at being funny. I know..Pitiful. LOL

Anyway..I am always hyper. I have been moving in fast forward most of my life with almost everything I have done. And my DOC is like super turbo speed.
So now I have a hard time living in the moment and relaxing.
I am really squirrely today. Because I havent had a smoke since about 7pm yesterday. I am stressing over employment. I am only a few weeks clean. The price of them is rediculous. I have no money. I am glad I am forced to quit. Because I wouldnt do it on my own. But this craving stuff is insane.
I am good as far as the drugs go. I wont feel anything for up to 2 or 3 months. Hopefully I will be better prepared this time and not give in.

My nerves and my thoughts are sprung like a mousetrap today. I'm not a very pleasant person at the moment.

People always talk about the "squirrel cage" at my home meetings. One of these days I'm going to find a small cage, fill it with plastic squirrel toys and bring it with me to meetings. "This is your brain in early recovery!"
