Should I have gone to a meeting today? Probably. Yes. The answer is always yes to that question. But today was full, and I can see that I still did things that support my recovery.
It was a busy day—dropping the sheps off at the doggy spa, then coming home to deep-clean the house before family arrives later this week for my niece’s graduation party. I’m feeling a little nervous about the plans I have to ask a few family members for some time alone so I can make amends. Nervous, but also hopeful. I know the relief and freedom that come after making things right.
Instead of going to a meeting tonight, I chose another kind of self-care: a hot shower, pajamas, and time on the couch to finish some step work. I’m reminding myself that while meetings are always a good idea, I don’t have to beat myself up for not making it today. I still ended the day grounded in recovery, and that matters.
