The past few weeks I have grown a lot in my sobriety. I have been able to attend baseball games, soccer games, bbq and birthday parties were ppl were drinking around and I was able to enjoy myself. Wasn’t super easy but I didn’t let it bother me and affect my time of enjoying them. I was ask a few times why I wasn’t drinking and it was good cause it gave me the opportunity to open up and share a bit of my struggle and new life (when I felt comfortable with the person asking). Staying active with work which is going well and working out a lot. I enjoy it and it gives me that satisfaction of seeing results and progress that I can see and feel with my health and physic. Besides that I feel stuck at times. Like my life is pretty vanilla or simple. Which is good I guess but I wish it can be more exciting at time. My brother tells me to be patient and to keep doing what I am doing and that good things and different things will come my way. I guess I am a bit impatient at times.
Thanks for listening ppl. Stay strong and stay sober. Take care.
Hey Luis, I think it is awesome you are recognizing this in yourself. I remember feeling this way a lot my first year. The absence of the chaos drinking brought to my life was difficult. At times I felt like life was just going on without me. I’m not sure if you are a part of a group or have a sponsor but generally when I am feeling restless, irritable, or discontent, it helps if I can find some way to be of service to someone else and get out of my own self a bit.
I wish you the best!!
