SLUMPS:


A slump can go on for days. We feel sluggish,
unfocused, and sometimes overwhelmed with
feelings we can't sort out. We may not
understand what is going on with us. Even
our attempts to practice recovery behaviors
may not appear to work. We still don't feel
emotionally mentally, and spiritually as good
as we would like.

In a slump, we may find ourselves reverting
instinctively to old patterns of thinking,
feeling, and behaving, even when we know
better.

We may begin taking things personally that
are not our issues, and reacting in ways
we've learned all too well do not work.

We don't have to be ashamed, no matter how
long we've been recovering. We don't have
to unreasonably expect "more" from
ourselves.

Get through the slump. It will end. Sometimes,
a slump can go on for days and then, in the
course of an hour, we see ourselves pull out of
it and feel better. Sometimes it can last a little
longer.

Practice one recovery behavior in one small
area, and begin to climb uphill. Soon, the
slump will disappear. We can never judge
where we will be tomorrow by where we are
today.
