Try not to focus on the things that you can't do and focus on the things that you can do.
One example if you're going to meetings keep going to meetings.
Another example is if you're using your phone list then keep using your phone list.
If you have a sponsor keep talking to your sponsor and you don't have a sponsor get a sponsor.

I have some long time sobriety, and I’ve done it by not drinking and by going to meetings and also by having a sober support system and community… gratitude is a big game changer. In the morning, I think of something I’m grateful for especially the beat of my heart and the oxygen in my lungs.

Sometimes when I clean my house I can only take one room at a time. It might take me the whole day to clean that one room, but it's clean

You can do this! I had to cut off all my suppliers to get clean.
I think I expected life to magically change and get better but still living in my own bubble. You’re able to name what you’re feeling and that’s half the battle. Give yourself time, stay connected here and reach out anytime. Proud of you

Thank you
3 words. GO TO MEETINGS.
I couldn’t even see very well or barely read or think straight. The only thing I did right was go to in person AA/NA meetings and listen. I didn’t care how I looked or smelled. Neither did the people at the meetings.
The family was suggesting meds. Nope! I wanted absolute freedom! Freedom from myself included. Not too long after I started going, I was able to laugh. Actually started laughing uncontrollably at a meeting. I think I spooked a few folks🤣
Fast forward to 17 years of sobriety and no meds. I can tell you it is absolutely worth it.
I’m here if you want to talk or have any questions

Grr great post I feel your unease I found my ADHD in sobriety/recovery Wouldn’t/Couldn’t tell the truth to therapists along the way. A friend and group member has been in/out of psych Hospital and ended up drinking to try and stop the madness from within. I go one day/hour at a time. Massive self compassion always. My GOD of my understanding LOVE me unconditionally. It’s just now. WE need one another
