Welcome Katelynn
Im new to this community also , welcome, and I also struggle with NA
Hey girl welcome and congratulations on your sobriety I'm working on 6 months and a couple of weeks now. I can't wait to get those numbers in my sobriety. I've been working on it for 2 and half years now and seem to be doing better in the last 6 months since I was able to get out on my own and away from recovery programs. I'm doing so good and enjoying my life and feel like I don't have the whole world 
on my shoulders anymore. Welcome and keep coming back.
Thank you
It’s hard for sure
Welcome Katelyn! Don’t overthink the higher power bit!
A higher power can be anything that gives you strength and guidance beyond yourself, and it's completely up to you to define what that means ! The important thing is to find something that provides you with hope and the ability to navigate challenging situations in your recovery. Hope that helps

Thank u sooo much that just melted my heart ! Yes im so fresh to this but I’ve done it before but only through my pregnancy’s so It’s extremely hard, im super tired since I’ve stopped using and I don’t know how to get my energy back up it’s horrible ! And the cravings are the worst idk how to deal with them
Cravings are the worst part of being clean in my personal opinion but if you just focus on other things you will be able to make it threw

Yes I try to focus on my three kids , they are the reason and my husband why I’m getting sober , I mean not that I don’t want to because I do, but sometimes it seems easier to just keep using them to get sober

What I get as far as a higher power,it's your own journey.
I totally understand in the beginning I couldn’t stay clean for me I had to do it for parole but eventually it became me that I was doing it for
Yes it’s hard to stay sober , like I said sometimes it seems so much easier to just not stay sober , trying to get sober there’s so many emotions and feelings, but when ur using u feel nothing
