Distract yourself Fenners, I went for a run earlier when I was feeling crap. I am taking it a day at a time to get through this lockdown.

Just ten mins at a time if you need to. And go to bed early. Tomorrow will be better.

I just keep thinking, no matter how anxious I feel about life at the moment, if I drink alcohol it will not help me. I can't go back to that. X

Clean your shoes. This was what my old sponsor told me to do in hour by hour situations. Ironing, housework. All good.

Yes Greppers, I used to get told to look in on someone else or do a RAK, anything to take me out of myself.

Glad you got through it FR. Well done everyone. Skiing was brill, I won't deny it. What is it about snow and blue skies? It's like the world was washed and cleaned and laid out freshly for me and everyone else to enjoy this morning! Lazy afternoon eating to recover and even got a wee chat with grandson on FB. Lovely weekend. :-).G |
