I think doing somehting for others is very important to recovery. Everyday I try to do just one thing to make someone else smile, not only does it lift your own spirits, it makes you concentrate on others and come out from within yourself. It is my daily challenge!
Some suggestions;
-Making your partner or kids their fav meal and telling them that you made it coz u love them.
-Commenting on someones new haircut, jewellry, clothes or just telling them how nice they look today.
-Calling or email someone you have lost touch with
-Responding to people here with some tips of your own.
-Smiling at strangers and saying 'hello'
-Asking the shop attendent how their day has been.
Trust me, it works wonders for your spirit!
