How do you get through your down time?
Reading quit lit! Listening to sobriety podcasts. Yoga. Going for a walk. Talking with other sober people. Cleaning. Dancing. Journaling. Meditating.
That’s always the challenge. When you are busy, it’s easy. I agree with Jenn above, you have to find other things to fill that time. It’s easier said than done, but start with small goals, like going for a walk.
By not having much down time lol. Especially early in recovery when I’m not spending time with me kids I am at meetings, working on my step work, or hitting the gym. Alcohol beat me spiritually, mentally, and physically. So I spend my time trying to feed my spirit, mind, or body. And when I feel like I’m tired I have to tell myself that it is ok just to rest.
