My mind is racing on and on. I am craving anything to make me feel different than the way I feel. Which is depressed, hopeless, scared, & fed up. Ive been sober 2 months and I feel so weak. Any ideas to give me some peace?? I can't relapse or I go to jail.

Maybe trying taking a Benadryl tablet if you are able to that sometimes helps me. Sorry you feel that way
When I start to feel down I go to a meeting or listen to podcasts about self help and staying positive. I like to take long walks and appreciating naturrs beauty through a new set of eyes I make a gratitude list and name 5 things I'm grateful for everyday even if they are simple little things. I look at myself in the mirror and I see how much better I look now than I did when I was using.I sometimes have to take a deep breath and remember how bad things were for me before I got clean.I thank my higher power everyday for another day clean. I pray for the strength and I have faith. I hope maybe some of these things might help you.I even started building model cars again like when I was a child just to take me out of the stinking thinking.It gets easier just hang in there and believe in yourself.I hope you stick it out and stay out of trouble with the law.I was there before also.

Mellissa, I felt like you many times in early sobriety. My medicine that always works is getting to in person meetings and talking about how I feel, step work with my sponsor which really helps in a more permanent way, service with other recovering addicts.
Do you have a sponsor?
Iām here if you want to talk.
And sorry it took so long for me to respond
