HALT
H. Hungry: McDonalds, burger king, Mexican (love Mexican)
  Feeling tired, irritable and unfocused? Eating healthy, OK I think I need a newcomer chip for this one, and this is very serious, I realize that I automatically; by instinct, as soon I got hungry the ritual is very simple, the first Drive-Thru in my way, proceeding to eat in my car, Nope not only at dinner time, but all my meals. Junk food You have to hate it but how? So many good moments together…

A. Anger: God grant me the serenity… Let go and let God… Live life on life's terms… Turn it over
OK recovery it's about changing our attitudes and learning new ways to live…I allow myself to be angry, not act on it, but I know isn't healthy to repress my feelings, there’s not such thing as good feelings or bad feelings, feelings are feelings and they have a propose, some times to let me know I need balance in my life, or something…

L. Loneliness: God, sponsor, meetings, magazines under my bed…
I believe that loneliness is a choice, I need time be by myself to recharge my battery, to look for a conscious Contact with my HP, to reconnect with the divine. But some times I do feel lonely, I been told that in order to recover I needed to change my toys, playmates and playgrounds; build new relationship with “Normies” is very difficult, and with recovery fellows every conversation is just a monologue, me, me, me!!! but we have 13th step… sweet!

T. Tired: I’m tired writing this…
How I deal with my low energy, naps, and then more naps, what a gift, laying down in my bed and just feel the freshness of clean sheets…priceless.
When I’m having a hard time or feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, it helps to remember my most important priority ME.  I mean my relationship with my HP.  Seriously God is my number one.
Thanks for letting me share

Interesting .........
I hate mexican food- too much stuff altogether- but i love pizza- don't understand it? Me fickle ya I guess.....

Anyways, Is that 13th step the same one we have here in Canada??  Not so good there Mister aLEJ!!
I was 13th stepped 2 months into my sobriety and didn't realize it until much later. yes i did a 4th & 5th step on it.
I learned a lot from that experience- like don't practise it again.
That's the truth for me anyway....

Naps are the bomb! Fast food is better than no food...everyone gets lonely, even the "normal" people that aren't beautiful addicts such as our selves Last night I was lying in bed lonely, and so I asked God to cuddle me:) Anger is just a feeling like everything else, and as long as you're not acting on it, you're good! God Bless
