Hey first of all, huge congratulations on making it 10 days, that is utterly amazing & I'm sure no is as amazed as you are. Keep giving yourself this gift of sobriety because NO ONE ELSE can give you this 'new' life but you!
Also want to acknowledge that yes, this sucks, the beginning is hard as hell, for reasons we all remember even if our details are not the same. But here's the deal, as absolutely shitty as this is, it has one thing going for it...if you stick this out...you will NEVER have to go through this particular pain again. Never. Don't focus on the future, focus on what's in front of you..the next 5 minutes or the next 5 hours or 24 hrs. Handle this time in increments that are not overwhelming and yes, find a support group like this one. I myself think meetings are the way to go b/c the 12 Steps helped me to break my emotional cycle of drinking but however you do it, find those people who have the kind of sobriety you want & stick with them.
Tomorrow is 12 days​:heart::heart:

Hey Ash! Man you have just pressed play on your life! One thing that has helped me over the years is to list the things I am grateful for… The things that sobriety gives me or allows me to keep. Hold these things close and do not trade them for a quick fix, you are worth so much more! Stay the path and stay connected! You should be proud of yourself.
