I go for a run 🏃♂️. I was having a moment last Friday and I just ran 3 miles.
Under standing 
pray to God, he is our savior 
Religion pushes me away.
I did until my hp took the desire away. Until then I worked the program and reaching out is awesome. Feel free to dm me and others:blush:
It’s freaking hard man… I smoke a lot of cigarettes and buy pastries
Sit down away from your phone, tv all distractions. Sit for 10 minutes. Listen to what you can hear, what you see, what you smell, what you touch. Try to bring everything around you into that moment and hold on to it though don’t concentrate on it: sit and be. The intensity of what you feel will fade. It’s really really hard to do, though it is doable.
Call a friend in the program, go to a meeting, log into a zoom meeting.
Wanna be friends
You have a big book ?? When I am struggling I read the book !!
Know you are not alone and look at all the things you can do. Good work reaching out.

CHANGED MY LIFE
I GAVE UP 1 THING FOR EVERYTHING
NOW
ONE DAY AT A TIME
I GIVE GOD 1 THING AND I GET EVERYTHING
Is EVERYTHING ez
No !
Does it suck and hurt Yes
But my worst day in the last 5 months is Not worth getting loaded for
Why ?
Because I've humbly and cleverly BUSTED my behind to have A Life with great people That I Will Not trade cause it's too beautiful
Ez No
Meetings yes
Exercise yes
Outpatient treatment I left when I was ready
No I did Not graduate
But I made the tough Right choices for ME
I would Not recommend doing it like I did
But a Higher Power and vitamins nd exercise and 100 percent honest life means I've done more
Than i ever have
Bieve m Ed get busy living or you are dying and I g o t high when I felt like that
Trust you 1st....understand that getting drunk or high is a mirage of a city of gold in the desert of futility
Find what you love to do
Find little things you like and be of service
Get mad at yourself talk to you. Yell scream whatever But make darn sure you stay sober and do the next right thing for You !
Or go do it and you'll learn like MD maybe what you didn't know
Health professionals ( counselors ) help with pain shame anc untreated trauma you probably are getting tripped up on
I don't use em but I might

Pray, and keep a connection with your higher power!
It is definitely not easy. I have learned a lot in this short process of becoming sober. but I am in long term sobriety so I will not let something get in my way. Sometimes I write down what is going on. And right down all the things that I can do to change it. Pros and cons. And the pros always win. Good luck I hope you decide the right thing for you.
How you doing today.
