Hi, I’m new to this app, I’ve got 4 days clean and it’s a struggle. Emotionally, mentally, physically. I started treatment 3 days ago and found a sponsor 2 days ago. I just wish I could feel better about myself.

It really does get better. 40 days sounded like 40 years when I first was getting clean and sober. But it came and went. What helped me was getting a sponsor.

Brandon you are awesome to have started. Many people don’t. That should make you feel good about yourself. You got this my friend you are on your way. Some of the emotional, mental and physical struggles are just part of detox. It will get better. Reach out to your sponsor and the people on here. We are here for you without judgment because we know what it is like cause we’ve been there.

You’re off to a good start! As others have said…hang in there. Nobody begins sobriety on a winning streak. We all start out broken. I know this is going to sound so cliché, but try and just take things one day at a time. Getting sober is a process. Accept where you’re at, and that have faith that things will get better

4 days is amazing You are getting yourself out of the woods You will feel better trust me. It just takes time for your body to find its new normal again.

Thanks everyone, I do already have a sponsor and he’s been a big help already, as well as a new best friend who’s been a godsend and introduced me to my sponsor, and my wife who’s also in recovery has been so understanding, I couldn’t imagine my life without her.
