Im losing my mind. It's my first day sober and i don't like it..
I hear that. I’m day 28. Can you take the day or week for yourself ?
I am a stay home mom. I have so many problems in my marriage that staying high is the only way they don't hurt so much
Christina I don't know what your substance of choice was, but if it was alcohol you are going to experience withdrawal. And it won't be pretty. The first 3 days are the most critical. I hope there's someone you can rely on to get you help should you need it.
Just keep going moment by moment untill you love it.
Your probably not gonna like it in the beginning but just hang on it gets better
Breathing exercises guided or not. YouTube sermons on difficult times. Outside for sunlight and walks. Calm music but Christian too. Gratitude list somewhere. God is higher than your cravings. Your cravings are not higher than God
Thank you so much.
Welcome! The first few days are awful! It’s a gift and a constant reminder of how awful those first days are. Reinforcement to keep sober one day at a time. Great people here. Reach out anytime!
