Getting out of my own way today

Circumstances found me alone today and a wicked wave of depression hit me. I literally had to throw myself out the door to get motivated but glad that I did. I gave the dog a bath, went to the library, drove to and talked with cable company about a bill, just completed a long walk and headed to my parent's for dinner shortly. Although my depression has significantly gotten better since I became sober, the wave still hits me at times. Moving beyond the wall is really important for me as the longer I stay in a funk the easier it is for the cravings to take over.

I can relate to this...and will chucking myself out of my door too tomorrow to try and make another day...it's the coming home part that's hard, trying to get out of the 'you deserve a treat' mindset, I.e. i'll just pour one while I prepare dinner, it started becoming the only reason I looked forward to cooking.
