Does anyone feel like they self sabotage their own recovery. I hate feeling this down, but I wonder if deep down I think I deserve it, and so sabotage myself. I know all the things that will help me a little - exercise, eating well, natural remedies, not lying in bed - but I'm lucky if I maintain them for a few days and then I just slip back. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Any a huge hug to all you fantastic folk out there :-)

Anyway of course, Self sabatage is normal, unhealthy but normal habits of our actions we have lived with for so long! Learning to live a new way with different habbits, people, environments (if it takes that) and then dealing with medication (if that is the chosenb route, dealing with self doubt sheeeeeesh! When a good day comes along! Only natural to sabatage because THE BOMB WILL DROP ANY WAYS RIGHT? At least so we think! And when some **itty day happens along we think oh here we go again instead of just letting it pass as being what it is.
Human drama is always going to be here.
Creation and destruction happening all the time everywhere!
Do we self sabatage YES!
