One Step a Day

InternalAcceptance July 6th, 2018

I've found that recognizing one step a day that I've done that was healthy towards recovery has been really beneficial. It helps me not focus on the negative as much and is something that I can do, no matter where I am in my recovery, whether that be wanting to get clean or having been so for a little while. I thought maybe sharing the idea might help! Hopefully this can be an ongoing thread for daily posting. :)

One step that I took today was to call and make an appointment with my psychiatrist in order to let her know how things have been going, rather than continuing to isolate and put it off. Now that I've made my appointment, I feel relieved rather than quite as anxious as I had before calling.

@ChassyMom I'm proud of you! If it means something to you, it's not stupid. Your passions and feelings in general are never stupid. heart

I ate breakfast this morning, which is something that's difficult for me to do.

I started listening to my body and baby and decided to take a self care week to get rid of morning sickness,or at least make it more tolerable....

@InternalAcceptance Applying for jobs takes great courage and can be stressful, so way to go! I hope you hear back from them soon. :)

I spent time with my mother today instead of spending time searching the house for alcohol.

Today I have done the washing, had a furniture change around in my flat, clearer a cupboard to put art materials in, instead of plastic containers :) Just have to wash up, which I'm going to do before my favourite programme.
