My small recovery and self care steps for the week. Please wish me luck :D and share your recovery steps if you want

Seems a very pleasant place to stroll. Pictures of walks, runs, hikes, even tiny bits of travel are cool to see.

I'm doing my (slow) runs 3 to 5 times a week. Today's was a little over 8k/5 miles. Nature walks ... not as much. Those were happening because I lived within walking distance of the preserved littoral rainforest next to the ocean.

Wow 8k is amazing
3 to 5 times a week of running sounds very good regardless of pace.
Keep it up

Another thing I have noticed
I haven't really made any negative posts about life like I always do since beginning this thread
It's not like I actively tried to avoid posting about how much I hate life, I guess it just never got bad to the point I felt I needed to vent
Sign of improvement?

I would say so. You are doing very well here with this and have something that you have an interest and desire in doing, it is working so you are seeing that YES, you are and can be successful at things that please you. You are seeing good results and getting the positive reinforcement that you deserve.

I was just thinking that @iloverachel . It's seeming to me you've found a new part of your path.

Sign of improvement?

Well no alcohol, no sex, no contact - peace. Made sport (and will do more the next days), continued fasting (or better said I continue to drink only fresh juices, lemon water, tea.... this has been going on (with a 3 week break when I fell really deep) since the beginning of the year. I hate it when it's so cold. Spain is supposed to be really hot now... disappointing.

It's so lovely to read your progress as I've read a lot of your posts over the last year or so and you were in some very dark places. I'm glad you have found a way out of that darkness and long may your new direction continue
