When I came to recovery about 15 years ago I had no inkling of what it meant to completely RELAX. I was always so worked up about what others were doing, or what they might be doing, or what they probably would be doing. I was busy churning ideas in my mind of why it was my fault and what I could do to chenge it.

I found recovery. ANd by working my program I found so many awes9ome ways to relax. A few of my favorites are:

do a relaxing hobby like Sudoko puzzles
candles
hot bath or shower
bubble bath
bubbles (the kind you use a plastic wand and a bottle of bubbles
walk
exercize
music
reading
driving in the country
riding bikes...wind in my face
playing with the dogs
leisurely shopping
delegating
letting go
accepting
pray & meditation
reading my Alanon books
Manicure/pedicure
getting my hair done
massage
post on message board or read them
have lunch with my recovery freinds
take in an extra meeting
play with a baby


Those are some of my ideas. How do you relax?
