Hello everyone, I'm not sure if its just me,but I'm finding every day is a struggle and working on addiction tools and sobriety is extremely hard, and by the end of the day, I totally feel like frigging screaming and IDK why,cuz I know I've made another day clean and sober and that I'm ok!!

Yes making it through the day is a win..keep going..I am 4.5yrs sober and still have days i struggle but its easier everyday..stay strong and reaching out and posting helps me!
I totally get it! Today I have 3yrs 4months & 18 days. Girl did I struggle for the first three months it was horrible. I had triggers that I had to stay away from especially at 6 o’clock in the evening. I had to like make sure that I was doing something at 6 o’clock anyway I relapsed after 42 years sober for 2 1/2 years And I’m back and I’m so glad that I made it through this last test because it’s what it is a test if you can take control over your mind and not take pick up just don’t pick up. Make sure you’re feeding your mind. Good stuff and you’re hanging out with the right people. That’s really important. Make a gratitude list even if it’s only a few things that you’re grateful for and go over it every day grateful while you’re sober you got this. This is just a stage you gotta go through. It’s a journey and every day is gonna be different, but I’m sending you the best wishes towards a great recovery

I call that my addiction/ego fighting to get me back! I learned that my addict/ego is alive, powerful, cunning and baffling. My defense is my 12 step program, my sober brothers and sisters, meetings, service, constant prayer & meditation. Gratitude is my medicine. 16 years sober and grateful🙏🫠.
I’m here if you want to talk
The way you described that, totally relatable. Some days get tough but the pay out is so worth it.
Keep pressing through.

Hi. Thank you for sharing. Every day is awesome if we don't drink or use. Some days are easier than others. It will get easier. It works if you work it. You are worth it!!!
No one said it was easy, they said it would be worth it, I've been clean going on 3 weeks and I'm getting the urge going visit some girlfriends and I'm not sure if that's the right thing to do or if I'm strong enough to resist the dope.
