Facing Life on Life’s Terms

When we get sober, we no longer numb out life’s problems.

We actually feel our feelings for the first time, and often times, for most of us, this can be very overwhelming.

Take solace in knowing that you are now facing life on life’s terms.

When you face life on life’s terms and find solutions to challenges as opposed to running away from them, you get better at life.

Will it be uncomfortable at first? Absolutely.

During this time, it is very important to reach out to other people who have been in recovery and have some sober reference.

These are the people who will get you through these challenging times.

In unity there is strength.

I'm learning to deal withy problems now, unlike when I was drinking.Which has been hard for me. I'm 26 days sober and have been very emotional. All the problems I have now are because of many years of drinking. I'm staying strong. Actually, the thought of drinking sickens me, because I know my life would be so much different and better if I would have not been drinking. Now, I turn to the Lord for guidance.

Yes this really resonated with me, I feel like the older generations especially don’t understand this, coming from the “just say no” and the D.A.R.E. movements. Like the opposite of addiction is sobriety. If that were true, as I so wish so, then it would be easy, instead I think the opposite of addiction is “connection,” with God, and other people. That is where you find strength :muscle:.
