Struggling lately. Going through a mental crisis where i think relapse seems like a great option. I know that if i got back into a gym routine and started doing the things i did religiously when i first came into recovery i might be okay ... but i cant find the motivation .... any tips on steps to take to overcome this??

Maybe find a way to enjoy your down time? I'm not sure. I've been struggling too. I know too much down time isn't good because we obsess about our addiction.. but I also think we need extra rest to restore and repair the damage we did to our bodies and minds during the activity addiction
Hope this helps. Reach out if you want to talk

I suggest going for walks in nature if you can...close your eyes and focus on calming your mind and your breathing. Once you become one within,the rest will follow through

You just gotta look at that fortunate soul in the mirror and say, " If you won't do right by me, then I'll do right by you, a$$hole..." You gotta get tough on yourself when things get tough on you. Early recovery is a bit¢h.It does get easier...
Enough already! Please stop spamming the ladies with this same request over and over again. Please get help. I know you’re just sick and suffering like many of us, but it’s really selfish to come on here and feed your disease by preying on young ladies that are struggling to recover. This is the 3rd or 4th time you have returned to this site with the same MO. Please go get help. There’s a life of recovery for you as well.

Pray pray and pray and ask Yah 
for whatever it is you need and believe what you ask for it will be done
It's pretty routine for me wen I know there's certain things that I should do or need to do, like I'll admit I get lazy lol straight up, n I constantly remind myself that putting things off and not doing wat I should be doing, is in a way my disease trying too get me back into my old routine of things, rite? And the one thing I've had too change about me and my way of thinking is that I have too change everything. So wen the situations come up where I don't want too do this or do this, I sometimes have too force myself too do it regardless. Which I still give in to my old ways once in awhile but overall I win most of those small battles we deal wit on the daily so it's progress. It's not perfect but its progression. So I say all this cuz sometimes u jus gotta push urself even wen ur mind and body tell u no. Win those small battles! They mean more then u know. Hope that helps and if u ever need too chat, feel free I'm always here

Are you connected to a program and sponsor? Being surrounded by sober support works.
Maybe shortened workouts? I fell off working out after doing great ppl workout religiously and felt amazing inside and out. Babystep back into it. Maybe find new workout. Having plants helped me and still does.
Also going to the root of this is all mind work that needs to be done. We get stuck in loops with undesirable thoughts creating undesirable lives. Its a mind bender cause you see its not good and think this isnt good which sends more of the same! Gotta make decision to change the story to what you actually want and no matter what you see in your world keep the better story and the loop will break!!! I swear it will I have done this and it is constant staying aware of our thoughts and what we speak to universe. It gets much easier once you start seeing change and realizing it all starts inside.
Check out Brian Whithers on youtube and also Lindell Warden to get your mind in the right direction! They’ll remind you who you are below all the outdated patterns and beliefs! Change your mind change your world! Mine changed!!
Uh oh
Stick with it. Force yourself to do good things for you
Well I tell everyone I’m not ready to add that type of problem to my day to day, I know that it will all fall down off I drink. I just think I create my own burdens,vices and emotional roller coaster,not substance abuse those aren’t me. It’s a glossy eyed person who doesn’t have to be responsible for the actions,cuz drugs overtake everything you feel l. I’ll tell you a secret, the highs and lows from every day life are stimulating the endorphins from being sad are so raw idk im crazy i just feel more when im sober a high in its self….!!!
Kristen!!! You are worthy of Love Honor Trust Dignity and Respect, say those words to yourself and you’ll eventually feel better each day
