In my early recovery, when i was overwhelmed with life and responsibility my sponsor would recommend bathroom breaks with a little light reading to deal with those feelings.
It was before the existence of cell phones and the publishing of the basic text, so my go to literature was the little white booklet. By the end of my first year I practically had it memorized.
Then my sponsor began giving me what today i know to be exercises in being present or mindfullness. The aim was to help me learn how yo slow things down and reduce stress.
