I will be seven years sober on the 29th . We take my oldest child to college on Thursday . I have not felt this bad and emotionally unstable since becoming sober. I have not been tempted to drink , but it seems nothing seems to be working to relieve my anxiety or depression. Any advice would be wonderful!!
I’m almost four years sober and went through that last year and felt okay emotionally with everything. I’m divorced so I’m used to my kids not being here all the time. But, I’m going through a break up now which has thrown me off emotionally, so I get it. I’m just really leaning hard on all the strategies I have in place to not drink: talking to friends, running, exercising, journaling, and giving myself grace as I work through those emotions. I find those things help. Feel free to friend me if you need someone to talk to. Hang in there, momma.
Thank you SO much !!! That makes me feel better and I will friend you ! Just found this app today so am a newbie but so glad I found it!!
