This will take the "H" out of "HALT"

An acronym in AA is H.A.L.T. which stands for Hungry, Angry, Lonely and Tired

It did help me when I paid attention to it....and tried to take care of either the physical need or the emotional one I was going through. (I didn't take care of the "angry" one, I guess, a while back...which led to me feeling alone. I also wasn't eating right--and this is something I have to watch out for....when I get upset I lose my appetite. I also lost sleep from worry. So I had all of these things going on for a while. I wasn't taking good care of myself. Now as you can see in my little monkey pic--I eat. And I am trying to stay on top of the other things everyday because I really want to stay sober.

(the "cookie" is gone, but will return:)

It's fried eggs, bacon and hash browns with peppers and garlic. Dang, I can't even take a good pic of a bunch of bacon.

Good one LTR .

Without trying to "out-do" anybody , we got told at th detox I was in ,

known for it's strictness & rigidity . Added this to "H A L T"  to .

Hungry Angry Lonely Tired - Thirsty  Serious .

In fact with-in a month of getting sober I started to laugh at myself .

For some of the ways I took myself so seriously . Hence , why Alkies

get called "drama queens" a lot.
