October 5

I didn't call in sick for the first year of my recovery. Not once! It just never occurred to me. I was so healthy that I just did not get sick or feel under the weather. But it’s not all about go, go, go, and get ‘er’ done! I had lost something in that first year. I forgot that I really enjoyed fucking off and doing nothing sometimes. So, let’s do something we may not have done in a while. Let’s get a little naughty. How about we call in “stupid” today? Pick up the phone and tell whoever it is that you need to tell, “ I took my temperature rectally today and read all the way to stupid.” Tell them that you are sick! You’re not lying. Just don’t say you’re “Sick… of working!” Or “Sick… in the head!”

Reflections

Are you working too hard? Have you forgotten how to have fun in your recovery?

Daily Challenge

Seriously, take the day off. Open the freezer, grab the ice cream and some Oreos, crawl back in bed, and turn on Netflix or your favorite movie. When people ask you how you feel tomorrow, just say, “Great! Thanks for asking.” And leave it at that.
