Cheeri0 Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Being outside. In early recovery everyone was talking about how much meditation helped them... and I just never really "got" that. When I spent some time outdoors, though, I realized that that's what it took for me to feel calm. Even something as simple as yard work takes my mind off of all the addiction bullshit. I can just zone out, focus on the air and trees (as corny as that sounds) and focus on being a person instead of an addict for just a few minutes. I think it's different for everyone but I think that's definitely what helps me the most, you just have to find yours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeHereNow Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Have to agree with spending time outside. That's my meditation, too. If I spend too much time inside I start feeling extra fatigued and depressed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom23Jones Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 As soon as you can force yourself to hit the gym, that helps big time too. Whether its weight training or running on the eliptical or treadmill. Your body releases endorphins and it helps me feel better about myself and gives me natural energy for the rest of the day. Plus it gives you that since of accomplishing something thats not easy to do and doing it without the aid of adderall....which always reassures me that I'll be just fine without adderall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
