Do what? - I know that's probably what you're thinking - notice I say out of your mind and not your head! - what I mean is this...
....addiction - any addiction, is about state of MIND - we live in our minds - we act upon our minds' urges, we live by and listen to the voice of the mind.
That's where our drug of choice enpowers itself - in the mind.
I spent my whole twenties there!...as well as some other grim places
I don't know about anyone else - I speak only of my own experience and what's keeping my boat afloat - but I totally lost touch with my body and soul!!! Got to be a reason why we have them too and aren't just heads in jars
So my tip for today - day 6 of weed free living is - get in touch with your body and or soul - walk, excercise, yoga, do your nails, have a facial, pump iron, meditate to the moon, eat well, dance around like no-ones watching, sleep, rest, water your beautiful machine - love it and nurture it - for it is the greatest intstrument you own!
Yes I stole all of these suggestions from various sources:wink: - the best tip being - learn how to breathe - in thru the nose out thru the mouth - consciously - cos whenever you are focussed on breathing you are in the now - and now is the only moment you got - the only one that's alive.
Before I annoy anyone out there who's thinking I'm on a hop skip and happy comedown I'll tell you now - today was fkin awful - perhaps the worst so far since the first day... woke up totally depressed and craving and had money and means to score - but I didn't! I'm sad by the fact that this decision will cost me alot of people, but I know that above all else I have to put my recovery first .
Thank you you lovely people for sharing and showing me that we are all the same - and yet unique - even in addiction - the above may work for some - but of course not for all - I just wanted to share something nice - cos today I have been a big bad tempered cow basically - full of misplaced rage - now I feel peaceful and grateful for you lot! Cheers and well done everyone!
