Just got home from work. Sitting on my bed scrolling through shows on Hulu trying to convince myself I don't want a drink. I'm passed my 30 days and I don't want them to go down the drain. Ughhhhhhh it's hard. Send help 
I feel you. I got screamed at tonight at work, all I want to do is drink.
You’re not alone!

Dudee ugh I miss going out and listening to music and getting buzzed. My friend is in recovery as well and we legit sat on her bed the other day and just stared at eachother bc we don't know what to do with ourselves

Hang tough Alexandria! At the end of the day, drinking won’t help anything, and probably will frustrate you even more.

Video games, board games, go check out a museum, take a hike, go play frisbee at the park, bowling, go see a movie or a play!
Our brains don't think of all the things we absolutely can do, especially early on in sobriety. I still catch myself going, "okay, nothing going on today, let's sit on the couch". We gotta untrain them from that line of thinking.

Hey, friend. Hope you urge surfed through it and reached out to some sober friends. I know it’s hard, but it can also afford you the opportunity to delve into new hobbies and experiences. I have learned more about myself during sobriety than I had in most of my life. You got this. Sending hugs.
