That’s a real question, that a lot of us have wrestled with it. Early on, it helped me narrow my focus. Less news, less scrolling, fewer places that feed gloom and doom. It wasn't because I didn’t care, but because my sobriety had to come first. The world is super chaotic right now, so staying sober is a job in itself with overtime hours. Build connection where you are, and add people here on the Loosid app, post the first sign that you're struggling, reach out instead of reaching for a drink. Meetings, virtual or in person, podcasts, conversations, whatever keeps you grounded and enjoy. Maybe it's books, creative writing, art, drawings, collages anything that occupies your mind and causes distraction. Strength grows a day at a time, not all at once. We're here for you, and you got this!
