Same, Achsah. Feel free to add me. I'm sad about a lot of things and struggling with these emotions. I can relate. I'm probably lonely too, but honestly, that's too sad to contemplate.

Achsah and Kelly, unfortunately a little sadness is normal. Especially at first. You're healing and you're able to process a lot of the bad things that you've been through. But look at what you have. Sobriety gets better and better. You'll gain some of the things you've lost. You'll feel physically better. You'll feel self worth. You have freedom. You have potential. You have valuable things you can share. You have good people like Lucio and a million others who will support you. You have a future. You are alive!

You are well on your way to rediscovering everything beautiful about yourself. Feel good, you deserve it.

The whole reason I drank was because I didn't like how I felt being sober. But continuing to put one foot in front of the other and do what was suggested helped me to feel better over time. Now I don't think I'd ever want to feel different than I do sober. Because it was so worth everything I had to do to get sober and actually live a life in recovery.
You can do it too! Nothing changes if nothing changes. I had to do things that were uncomfortable to feel better.

Thank you, Achsah 
This is probably the first time in my life that I've not BIG fixed my feelings in some way, new relationships, $ex̌, spending, drugs, marriage lol. I'm still doing small small fixing, playing mobile games, but I'm voluntarily not doing relationships (couldn't if I wanted to -my emotions are still entangled in my previous relationship) and voluntarily celibate.
I've been clean for long periods, but always managed my emotions in unhealthy ways. I've got to tell you, this $#i+ sux big time. I know that I've got to walk through it to heal, but sometimes it just overwhelms me.

That’s why we are here. To support each other. To celebrate too. We don’t have to do this alone. When times/feelings/life is tough I lean into my program and on my sober brothers & sisters.

Ditto! Except I have not got where you are.
I have no idea how I would feel sober for more than a day.
I must stop drinking!!

Hello Achsah. Have you tried to attend an all women’s meeting with AA. You would be surprised how much support you receive there. Good luck and hang in there with all of us.
