Army Thread, Monday 5th March
Hi Satzuma, it's me RC, the local lothario :H:H (I wish!!)
Re the knackered thing.... hmmm ... to be honest i dunno how much of it is (for me) the recovery process and how much of it is me feeling a bit like i'm in a wee rut, and how much of it is needing to take care of meself with all the running I do. I think it's a bit of all three tbh.
I think with recovering from AL, is that we come across stuff in our life which we would previously have dealt with by nose diving into a bottle, but now have to deal with sober. We may not realise it at the time, but this may use up energy in ways we never did before. Like dealing with any situation - take Quest's interview - facing that sober in the days leading up to it, the day of the interview and the aftermath all sober will tire you somewhat.... it's natural... but if we're not used to it, and instead are used to expending our energy drinking and focussing the following days energy on recovery, we don't actually know what "tired" is.
You being knackered may be partly recovery, but also partly learning that you DO get tired and have tired days. Have a look around the office and see how many peeps are yawning - honestly there are probably more than you'd think.
The body's a funny and complex thing.
