My sobriety date is 12/29/25 so this first week of the year hasn’t been perfectly smooth to say the least… I never thought I’d ever become an addict, but I understand so much more now. I didn’t realize how numb I was until getting clean and feeling all of these “new” real feelings is one of many unexpected challenges. A current struggle is responding to triggers, where I would normally numb up and autopilot my way through problems. And everyone in my life is focused on their own problems and feelings so it feels like I’m going though all of this alone, but I’m thankful for this app and those of you who have helped immensely (you know who you are) so I want to commend you all for being sober and supporting each other even though we may not be ok ourselves all the time…

Hey Eliott, thank you so much for being so open. First off, huge congrats on your sobriety date! That first week is often the hardest, and the fact that you’re here and sharing is a massive win.
​What you said about 'feeling everything' really resonates—it’s like the volume on life gets turned way up all at once. It’s exhausting to learn how to handle triggers without that old 'autopilot,' but you’re doing the work. You might feel alone in your daily life, but you aren't alone here. We've got your back. One day at a time, man!
