I’m 11 days sober. And it’s pretty rough right now

I’m 11 days sober. And it’s pretty rough right now. But I try to keep my mind busy. I think I’ve been keeping it too busy today that I can’t sleep right now.

Thank you

Hey Ash. Congrats on 11 days! Keep connecting and reaching out. I listen to meditations and do some spiritual reading when I wake up and try to connect with at least 5 people in recovery every day. I also go to meetings. Happy to send you to some if you would like!

Hey Ash! First, congrats on breaking the cycle of drinking/using! That’s a big deal! Remember, the substances are just a symptom of our dis-ease. When I stopped medicating and numbing myself, the anxiety of living life without it was intense. I suggest getting involved in a 12 step program of recovery so that you can begin to learn how to live your life happy and free without the use of alcohol/drugs. Hope you get the help you need and deserve :pray::peace_symbol:

Ash ... you're definitely in the "lean into stage". At this stage ... you have one rule ... do not take that first drink on any given day. Do not take the first drink. Period. You can't end up drinking 10 drinks if you don't take the first one.

Just keep putting on foot in front of the other - the next right step, and it’s usually about reaching out to the newer guy. -The guy who can’t imagine stringing together ten days!

Thank you. I appreciate the tips. I’m willing to try anything right now.

Thank you so much. I will definitely look into it. I really don’t want to go back to that bad place again and again.

Thank you. Today got a little easier, since I was at work and pretty distracted.
