It gets better ❤️

This post is to spread positivity!!! I promise it gets better over time. I know it’s cheesy but one day at a time slow but surely life starts to go your way. Keep pushing !!! Find hobbies you like to fill your time. What has helped me a lot in sobriety is staying busy and now allowing myself to be bored. Even if i am bored i’ve learned to sit with it and it’s something we all need to figure out. For me in early sobriety boredom was the biggest problem. Life is boring sometimes ! Drugs are not the answer to boredom.
Also, candy and ice cream have helped a lot too. When i get a bad craving sweets help cos you gotta replace that craving with something !!
I believe if you put ur mind to it and rlly rlly try you can come up on top !! Addiction has been the hardest thing i’ve ever gone thru. I completely understand how hard it is. I try to remind myself everyday how miserable i was in addiction and how gross i’d feel everyday if wake up. Being hungover is the worst feeling and i never wanna go back.
I hope this post can help motivate someone out there. I know you can do it :heart::heart: One day at a time keep pushing yourself to become the best version of yourself (^^)人(^^ )ノ

This is a great post & much needed "keeping it real" moment. Especially the part about the boredom and ice cream/sweets to help the cravings.(what's your favorite ice cream/sweets?).
Keep up the good work/shadow work & have a safe and sober thanksgiving holiday TTC. :turkey::tada::grimacing:🫠:tada:

Great reminders.
Thank you!
Sitting with emotions has felt tough.
Getting better at it, though.
And yes, it is better-it beats being disgusted with myself for drinking.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving!

Absolutely agree. Hit the sweets. It’s a great choice. Considering the alternative.

Thank you for sharing positivity. We all could use that! It is important to find appropriate rewards for yourself and change the pattern of our addiction. I like to mix it up sometimes it’s a lil something from Amazon or it’s a frozen coke. To each their own find your joy and enjoy it!
