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.

With Love, Loosid :pray::heart:

Getting comfortable with being uncomfortable was one of the hardest things for me to learn how to do…sometimes I even still struggle with it, and that’s okay. Not every day is going to be a cake walk. What is important is that I pick up the phone when things seem impossible, get honest with myself and another person, and talk about it. I remember that I am not alone in this journey and that I never have to use again. My worst day clean is still better than my best day using!

This is absolutely the truth I was so emotionally overwhelmed the first 6 months or so I was not sure I would be successful but I have made it 8 months now and I’m getting better at managing my emotions

For the past two days I've wanted to crawl out of my own skin, I'm crying for no reason but still sober, I went to an AA meeting and basically begged one of the women to walk me through the 12 steps because I'm sober with the same problems as before, and a woman agreed to walk me through, she texted me "just for today"
