Day 40 something for me. Been a hermit, not just due to COVID but more to protect myself. Had no motivation to do anything for the 1st month. Started taking some anxiety meds, and beginning to feel a bit better. Made doc appt. Put Serenity Prayer on my phone home and lock Screen.

Lately, I’ve been picking an area of house and cleaning it—decluttering, cleaning, etc. One thing a day or more—depends on my mood. No pressure—if I get to it, great! If not, another day then. Makes me feel productive. Feels good knowing it’s organized. Not sure if it means anything good or bad lol.

Thanks SR. I come here daily to read.

I try to do same SuzieQ.

It distracts me, and it's productive.

Any productive work can only make us feel better about ourselves.

Congratulations on 40 days SuzieQ.

Great plan! Keeping busy, organizing and being able to see what you've accomplished.

I need to do that!!!

I hope you feel better soon.

Now that's what I call being active in sobriety....awesome work!

Maybe that would work for me, haha. I hate housecleaning! Just a little each day instead of my all-out effort once a month.

Keep up the progress!

Suzie, it's good to hear from you.

I started doing some organizing/decluttering this week, too. On days when it's too cold to be outside much, it's good to have something to do.

Well done suzieQ, I'm in the process of decluttering my home, my spare bedroom is like a jumble sale gone wrong, it will take at least 3 days to see carpet, but at least it keeps my mind occupied, and I've found listening to music kills the voice in my head, keep well x

Hi Suzie! Cleaning and organizing always feels so good!! Keep up the good work !! I think I’ll organize all my teas today.

I love this idea. I will be heading into my second weekend of sobriety and I need to make a list of things to do/accomplish to keep me busy. Im thinking I will get a jump on the spring clean out/decluttering. Congrats on your 40 days! You should be so very proud!
