Today I woke up feeling the kind of numbness that I haven't felt in 5 years. I dragged myself out of bed, laced up and went for my usual pre-dawn Wednesday run. It didn't help much. But I would have felt so much worse right now if I'd stayed in bed and skipped it. Whatever your self care is, whether it's maintaining sobriety, working out, reading... this is your reminder that he's not worth losing the joy and sense of accomplishment you get from committing to yourself and sticking with it.
