You're doing great staying sober!
I'm always here if you need to talk
Iâve been going through this myself. Itâs hard to get out of bed most days. I tend to disappear and isolate when Iâm sad instead of getting up and trying to find ways to work out whatâs going on in my life. My friend told me that I have hit a wall and that this is a moment in my journey that I will never forget. That this is where changes happen but I gotta climb the wall and stay sober. That I wonât regret it and itâs a pivotal moment. And at times I just donât feel strong enough. But I am. And so are you. Reach out anytime. I need friends too.
I know exactly how you feel that's why when I completed my last rehab I stuck with working with my sponsees and got a pup to spend my time with when God sees for me to not be alone anymore I wont be so im waiting patiently for his will not mine to be done
It's never ever easy in recovery but think about your worse day in your addiction and do a comparison of your life today get out isolation is nota good thing and it's summer time so get out to a meeting and allow your own kind guide you back to a love of life worth living they have all kinds of events and cookouts this time of year and they will be honored to have you I wish you blessings and so much love
Good day dear keep fighting the fight ! Always talk to others be letting out head make a bad decision! Lonely,bored, our messed up minds lying to us about it ok ,it only one thing thatâs helps communication
I get that. "I'm not happy, it seems easier drinking"
I remember the first year of quitting drinking. I was sooo bored and annoyed by everyone around me that drank. I have over 10 years. People drinking doesn't bug me, if they get too loud or annoying I just leave, but i honestly think 8 have just gotten used to being bored. Nothing makes me happy.
I am always taking care of everyone else, no one takes care of me.
That's life I guess.
I'm sorry you're feeling this way and if it stops, or you find something that makes you feel happiness, can you share the secret?
Find a home group make you self a recovery team including your sponsor an recovery addicts you can call when youâre down. A team is stronger than you by yourself. Pm me and I will send friend request so your not alone anymoređ€đ« đ
Iâm checking in with you. How are you doing? Add me as a friend. Letâs talk.
I have some of the same struggles. I don't have many anymore, and I do nothing to acquire them. I think maybe it's a form of self-sabotage and fear of failure, which rationally, I know is ridiculous, but I don't really know why I feel like such a bump on a log. I need to take care of myself and do things to make me happy, you do too. And that involves community and friendship, feel free to reach out! I'd love to chat
Volunteering and helping others helps you too, Stacy.Volunteer at a theatre or a senior center or a hospital or an AA meeting or ....you'll meet people and have a reason to leave the house. I hope you feel better soon and remember drinking is NOT easier!!!
This is the time in my journey that when I had that feeling I went and walked. I found that when I got my HR up with exercise it had that feeling go away. So I will say during this time I lost around 40-50 lbs.
Bless your dear sweet heart. You owe it to the world to let it know you. Get out there!
Keep up the good fight you can do this.
I here you. I feel you. Stay dating or get a pet or go for a walk around a park near you. You'll find meaning
Go to a meeting, call your sponsor. Do you have a team of sober friends on your team to succeed? I will be on your team to succeed.
Sorry to hear you are struggling. I echo Linda's comment. Volunteering helped me when I was feeling bored and stuck. Also, look into the NewForm app. It's sober activities and communities much like this app, but much less buggy.
This is such a lonely disease. Get on an online meeting if you canât get out. They help me tremendously.
