We’re here for you. What feels like it would be helpful? Someone to rant to or someone to share experiences with? (Story swapping)

Is it the handling of life sober? We all struggle with that, and new sobriety is even more challenging. (I’ve had a lot of day ones in my life). I like to take a shower when I’m super stressed because it feels like some of it will melt away down the drain.

Stress isn't fun at all. I struggle with it weekly. I have to go to the gym and work out to release the stress! I hope you can find a healthy way to manage your stress!!

Hi, welcome! It’s brave of you to reach out.

When your mind feels messy, try starting small….write down your thoughts or take a few deep breaths to reset. Deep breathing does WONDERS!

We’re here for you!

My dad once said (told to him by his dad) “when you openly recognize the struggle, you’re halfway to the solution” and that has helped things feel more hopeful for me. Hope you get what you need from the community here.

Kayla. You're not alone on this. You've recognized your struggle. That's a good thing because you're half way to the solution.
I've been around for the past 36 years faithfully. Add me and we'll talk.

Reaching out is the right choice :ok_hand:....

How long clean do you have?

Do you have a program you're working?
(Its perfectly fine if you don't, just trying to ask questions so I can try to help with what you're going throug

I had almost 4 years until yesterday..

At least you know you can do it again.

This can be just a bump in the road of your recovery.

It :100: doesn't have to define you. Even if it feels that way.
People slip up, and nobody's perfect

That's tough. You're doing good reaching out. Keep being proud of that 4 years. It's a thing you did.

I'm here for you if you want to vent or talk too
