Reaching out today for just moral support. I constantly feel as if my reward system if you will is all messed up inside my head. Since getting sober, I feel like I’m constantly doing things to please other people but not myself. It’s also become a challenge for me to let go of people I shouldn’t be holding onto. Just looking for words of reassurance & advice.

It’s great that you are able to recognize that struggle. It’s okay to want to be there for other people in their needs, but it’s also (more) okay to heal yourself before you can be able to be there 100% for others. Take the time you need to work on you, it’s not an easy process.

Do you feel like you're doing this because you are trying to make up for damage or embarrassment caused to them or around them? It's ok. i promise it will take time but they will give you grace.
