Re: [Recovery-World-Al-Anon] Lack of Motivation

Thanks for your share, Michelle... and yes... i experience that too, and feel kind of bad about it... First of all, be gentle with yourself. It's ok to not be at your best, but it's still possible to be comfortable with where you are and to work toward where you'd like to be...
 
recently, i've been trying to get up at 6am, like i used to. it's helped.... i also did hot yoga for a week, which was also meditative and refreshing, etc... i think there's a lot of things i try to do to put that excitement and hope about life back into me....
 
i mean one thing that i morn is that i am not as spirited as i was before i met my qualifier. i miss that. i'm getting closer to that, and getting hints of it back more and moree frequently, but i'm often sad still, and also get sad about that...
 
anyways, perhaps just think about what you like, and ... oh... i like to make plans to do the things i like with othe rpeople. i really like that, and find it very fulfilling, but there's a little catch... i often meet people who don't like to commit to anything, who don't like to make plans, and who don't follow through. so that can be disappointing to me... and for that, i'm trying to do my best at finding people who are more reliable. it's not easy, but i think i'm making progress at that... and the most important thing is not to give up hope. one strike out does not indicate any future strikes...
 
good luck, and much love and hope!!
Kira

Hi to everyone. I have posted on this group a couple of times, but it's
been a while. I have been married to my alcoholic for 10 years and with
him for 11. We have had some really rocky times but at the moment
things are relatively peaceful, mostly due to the fact that he has no
money at the moment to buy alcohol. The reason for my post today is a
problem that has been bothering me for a while. I seem to lack
motivation to do much of anything outside of my job. Yes my job is
physical at times and does wear me out to a degree, but lately my
energy seems non-existent. I don't feel depressed, in fact I have felt
pretty good about life lately. I can't help but wonder what seems to
cause my lack of motivation? I mean even tackling minor household
chores feels exhausting. Is it common to feel this drained simply by
being in an alcoholic relationship? Is there anything that helps you to
jump start your energy when you seem to be dragging? Any ideas or
shared stories are appreciated. Thanks. Michelle
