Been trying to remember all my reasons for wanting to be sober, but lost all feeling of motivation with any of it. I've always had the motivation and will power to get my life right... this is a 1st of feeling completely empty.
Don’t give up! If you have always had the motivation then it’s still there. Dig deep and remember all the reasons you have to be sober. And once you do that and feel like you just can’t do it dig deep again and remember all the times you woke up not feeling good or couldn’t remember what you did the night before.Take it one step at a time. Sobriety is not a quick recovery. It takes time. And at the end of the day…Keep striving, for God gives His hardest battles to His strongest soldiers.
Keep working at it. Life is beautiful. Always love yourself.
The fact that you are sharing theses feelings is motivation in itself! You still want it! Take some time to be still. Be kind to yourself. Be proud of yourself. Think of what you would tell a newcomer who asked you why they should get sober. You’ll find the answers.

Hello April,
I'm sorry you're feeling like this, I know it feels awful. You can come back from these feelings and be the person who you really want to be. I believe in you.
For me, when I have felt similarly, using alcohol or other substances only made it worse for me.
Oh ya I’ve been there many times! Thanks for sharing.
I remember that I don’t drink or use no matter what!!! I know that “this too shall pass” is very true. I do more service and step work.
Hang in there! I’m here if you want to talk.
Keep pushing in the right direction somedays are better than others..i have had these same thoughts before..ur in the right place..dobt give up on urself because ik none of us will!!
I’m sorry sorry. If you stay sober today the feeling will pass. Give yourself some time. Sober is so much better. Hugs
There is hope because you are on this ap!!!!
Hi April I'm so sorry you are feeling this way. Sometimes all we can do is take it one second at a time. I hope you feel better soon
Hope you’re feeling better April
There’s a little bit of faith there, your doing a great job sharing, whatever you going through, just know it shall pass, and if you stay sober things will get better! God Bless you!
well said
