Knowing when yo take a break

I have MS and Rheumatoid Arthritis and I feel different things on a daily basis. I used to not care how I treated myself. I self medicated with my meds and alcohol. Now being sober for 2 1/2 yrs I listen to what my body says. If I meed to take a break and nap I do. Im so grateful that I can tell the difference now. I no longer push the envelope and end up hospitalized. I take a break now whenever I need to. My higher power has goven me another chance to do better and live my life in a much better manner. I am so grateful that I have the chance to do so. I so gratefully live my life the better way.
