Struggling Help
#1

Newbie here. Once again on the journey to become sober. My alcoholism is causing me some major health issues and im just ready and have been ready to quit but my will power is so weak. Im so glad i came across this app. I hope it, along with your stories and support can help guide me to become myself again. My family misses me and I miss myself. Im home all day and limited on what i can do due to multiple back and neck surgeries and that's when I get bored and want to drink. I love to be in my garden but it will only grow so fast. I used to love to cook but it's become a chore now and isn't fun anymore and my income is limited so my options are also limited. Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated. Excited to be here

Welcome Stephanie​:pray:. I’m sober 17 years now. Unbelievable!:sweat_smile:.
I suggest AA meetings for real connections with people who understand and are working on the solutions of alcoholism.
The sooner the better.
Doing the 12 steps with a sponsor will help tremendously.
I struggled for decades until I did the above, then sobriety and life changed and got much easier and better!
I’m here if you ever want to talk or have any questions

Welcome. Music while cleaning or organizing, weiting/journal poetry, take a walk and see if one can capture the extraordinary in the ordinary every day world around you - take one picture of the extraordinary in the ordinary, choose a topic that interests you but you dont know much about and dive in...

I have similar struggles, finding meaningingful and enjoyable sober things to do. Lmk what you come up with, and keep coming!
