((((((Hugs and healing to you)))))))

I hear you. It's great you found this forum. Take care of yourself, one minute at a time, one hour at a time, one day at a time.

Long, soaky baths are nice to nurture yourself.

H.A.L.T.

Am I hungry? (eat healthy drink water, take your vitamins)
Am I angry? (do something calming, breathe )
Am I lonely? (connect, meetings, literature hugs)
Am I tired? (nap, sleep )

Good for me to tell you, good for me to hear.

Hi amy,
  Glad you are here...first step in taking care of you.  Sorry to hear you are going thru a rough time.  I found that in the beginning of my recovery I read everything I could get my hands on.  I also learned that I was worth taking care of.  I could make that choice.  After that I learned there were other choices I could make that would help me to heal and feel better.  Know you are worth it.
your friend in recovery,
rosie
