I know that fear can really hold us back. Fear was my security blanket and sometimes still is. It is so hard to break through that.
Just making that first step will make all of the difference. Make yourself go out even if it is for a short walk. Make yourself some tea or whatever it is you like and have a nice bath before bed. Do something soothing. Tell yourself you are a wonderful woman and that you are happy. Repeat it over and over. Change that negative tape into a positive one!
It's great that you are getting some help. Right there, you are already caring about yourself.
Hey, good for you on staying sober. That's fantastic!
