Little introduction/what's going on

I am newly sober. Well, my second real attempt, but this time the stakes are high. Alcohol has caused me so many problems and I firmly believe I am ready to put it down for good. Although I am now sober, I've found myself in a depressive episode and my anorexia has relapsed. If it's not one thing it's another, right? I'm also fighting to stay clean from self harm.

Not sure if anyone else can relate, but I am just trying to be honest with myself and others in my life.

Feel free to say hi or mention something good about your day :grin:

I've gone almost 3 days now. There's a lot of anxiety happening, but I'm happy about the 3 days. It's a start.

You can do it Ryan! Keep your goal in front of you and just put the next foot in front of the other one day at a time. I know this sounds cliche but it's working for me right now :grin: there are so many of us here to help you

Anxiety is a problem, especially at first. It gets better. Make sure you get enough sleep. Also I take B1. I was sent home from the hospital w it in March. It helps reverse some of the damage we’ve done to our brains. I still take it.
One day at a time.

Hello Ryan!
Depression for me is when I worry about the past. Yesterday is gone tomorrow’s not here. Right now is where the action is. Live life on life’s terms. In the moment…
