4 days shy of 7 months. 206 days?
Have been practicing yoga twice a week for the past few weeks, and already I feel happier, more centered, calmer. Just got diagnosed with hypothyroid last week so this is a first for me because I have been so healthy my entire life. Apparently hypothyroid can affect mood, and energy negatively and has a lot of hidden symptoms that can seem like "normal life" but really it is life at a suboptimal level. Gonna try to balance myself as naturally as possible.
Definitely still wrestling with cravings and triggers. I will think that I am over it, and then out of nowhere I will just want to get drunk. Really glad my bf has been so supportive. He doesn't drink in front of me usually, and last night we were talking about that if he was drinking beer around me I probably would have relapsed a long time ago and been doing the same alcoholic patterns.
Glad everyone is doing well in your own recovery.
casefase99: I volunteered at a needle exchange for about 9 months a few years ago. It definitely was a very worthwhile experience. I have never really done opiates but addiction is addiction is addiction. Some of my tasks were putting tiny cotton balls in little dime baggies. Hope you can feel stronger by volunteering at the exchange and not feel triggered.
