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.
