Just feeling stagnant. I feel like I’m not getting any farther ahead than when I started. Which isn’t true really cause there’s many things that I have gained and earned back since getting clean and sober. I just feel stagnant in my recovery. Can anyone else relate?
Like you know you should be doing something but can't figure it out,,,yea I have those moments I either talk to someone or I read out the big book
Of course. Certainly have felt that way myself. I like to do a personal inventory when I’m feeling that way. If I recognize a red flag or an opportunity, I note and determine the best course of action or even if action is required. Sometimes the best course of action,is no action at all and be patient.
Sometimes you just got to sit with those feelings. The truth is you are doing fine. I get like this too. It’s that theme in life that I have that I’m just not enough. I’m not doing enough. I don’t have enough…blah blah blah. Sit with yourself and give yourself some love. I nice meditation may you bring you some peace from your “higher power” that all is good just the way it is. Also, I try and give back and help others. That always helps me get out out of my head.
Thank you all for your suggestions! They are greatly appreciated!!
Surely we all go thru the same feelings at some point in recovery . I had a moment last month as I was driving to a meeting where out of nowhere I got overwhelmed n thought to myself “I can’t imagine staying sober for the rest of my life” - the ppl in my group helped pull me thru that dark day! My best advice is stay honest w yourself n ride out the emotions n reach out to others, don’t isolate yourself or you might feel worse (I did that once).
Thank you so much!
I feel you...
Yea same here
