Does Life get Overwhelming?

Hey sober family, when life seems to be doing its best to beat you down, what are some things you do to stay the course and not resort to that drink/drug? What are some of y’all’s favorite coping skils? Mine are:

Running (w/ music blasting)
Boxing (smash the bag, not a face)
Journaling ( put it on paper)
Making ME time (guilt free pleasures)
Meditation (turn down life’s noise)

Hi, thanks for sharing that buddy. For me. I like to get my cats and talk to them, they amuse me, okay. If I could be a cat, I'd be just like them, because they listen to me and they make me happy and they never talk back to me. If anything they make me laugh, if I'm able to come back as an animal, I'd probably come back as a cat. Cats are so cool they. Yes, I am Yes, I am.I am that cat.I am that black cat that yellow cat, that white cat, that poker, daddy cat, I am, that cool cat that runs across the counter after I told him or her not to do it, they do it anyway.That's what makes cats cool that high-minded.They are high in their own way.We don't need to get high.They get the high for us
