Hey… I haven’t been too active of a member for quite a while, mostly I’m on lurk mode. But I need to reach out now, I’m grateful that this site is here.

I got a couple of bits of sad, bad news today, and because of recently developed health problems I can’t utilize my usual very quick mood lifters that I adopted in sobriety: a)eat junk food or b)smoke a cigarette. Poor me right? 😉 I have a meeting planned out. But for now I am just kicking around the house feeling sad. This is no way to go about coping.

I called my sponsor, pet my dog, and cleaned the toilet (yes it makes me feel better, I don’t know why). And I am trying to hold on to the fact that feelings change, and I’m not going to feel like this forever. Hmm… I know there are other things but right now I can’t remember them. I’m feeling quite foggy actually.

Suggestions?
