24 days clean and sober. I didn’t think I would make it this far, everyday is a little better and easier to get through. The destruction and neglect I caused while drinking and using have left me overwhelmed

Hello Jess, Congratulations on 24 days. Racing thoughts I Still have those and I have 37 years sobriety.When I get those racing feelings I just started on things. Like cleaning the house that always helps. and I also talk to people to help get rid of those thoughts. I know for me if I’m in that spot of thoughts it doesn’t do me any good. But they do go away and you might get them once in a while.

It really gets better….. I know it doesn’t seem like it now, but living sober just becomes “normal.” There’s still problems, there is still joy, it’s just all seen and dealt with through a new perspective.

Keep it going! Stay involved in meetings and people who bring sober vibes. The hard part is staying sober so surround yourself with positive sober people vs people who drink and so drugs are my thoughts

Congratulations! I'm right there with you on the racing thoughts, at 45 days myself, but learning MUCH healthier ways to manage them and quiet my mind...from some wise folks in recovery. I feel so much better than I used to.
