Sorry you are going through that. When the bad thought arise, how are you handling them? I have a hard time getting my mind to not dwell there.
Just don’t give into those thoughts. Thoughts don’t get us high, what we do with them does. Keep trying to get plugged in. And of course, easy goes it.

I am glad you shared it here. Sometimes just sharing is helpful enough to make it better for a little bit. I hope a meeting or talking to someone can happen for you today. Being alone with my mind is not helpful for me.
I find it helpful to learn to just sit with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without getting entangled. Have you tried meditation? Takes practice, but very much worth it
Congrats on day 21!!! My thoughts were like a hot garbage can in early sobriety, they stunk! “Thoughts are useless without action”
Ask your higher power to remove these negative thoughts. In prayer and meditation we improve our conscious contact with our God.
I’ve noticed that our thoughts are similar to our emotions they too will pass. When I sit in mine and play the tape out I can see the outcome isn’t good and therefore I can respond by not responding.
Have a blessed day my friend

My negative thoughts revolve around missing my kids and then normally I’d zombie myself to the store and numb out but my problem is that once I start I obv can’t stop and it usually ends in a detox situation. Idk. Yes I need to connect more to my higher power and sharing here helps
