You know you're RECOVERING WHEN ...

Cannot find the "you know you are recovering (healing?) when ...." thread so I'm starting a new one.  If someone finds it, please post it!


YOU KNOW YOU ARE RECOVERING WHEN ...

You bob your head and mouth the words to a song on the radio because it feels good.

I remember the reading glasses I am searching for are on my head within 24 hours  :  )

When the patterns on your rug are pulsating and jumping at you.

When you remember withdrawal because you have gone for a long period of time during the day not thinking about it!  When you have windows of feeling better.  When you hage sex again for the first time since withdrawal started.  When you look forward to something.  0

When you can leave the house and later, go on a multi-day trip away from home, without worrying whether or not you have your Klonopin in your purse.

[[Buddie]]

When it is dinner and you remember what you ate for breakfast.

[[Buddie]]

...when you catch yourself laughing out loud!

Forgot I had started this thread when I couldn't find the other one!  Thanks for reviving, [...]!

When ...

You eagerly spring from your seat instead of slowly getting up so you can go get the next thing done.

[[Buddie]]

When you start sleeping again ... when you actually start enjoying food ...

Great Idea for a Thread Seltzer.

    I am most likely DATING MYSELF here but recently I watched a movie with Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr.   I cried at the end when he realized she was crippled.  I knew then I am healing.  It was such a touching movie.  I was touched by the great acting.  So believable.
