Many things we think are mental problems, is our disease manifesting itself in our life. For me, it is the thinking behind the drinking and drugging. The drug is but a symptom of our disease. Recovery is about healing and going through the process n order to recover. It is not a quick fix. It is one day at a time.
I know what you mean by time, it just seems to disappear. I don't know if it is senility or just me staying in the moment, and days slip by and I often don't know what day it is.
