So I have a week sober from everything. I want to be excited but I'm not. I've made it here many times before and the stressors of life always get in my way. I've deleted all of my numbers that connect to unhealthy people which is different than before but I went on social media and saw pictures of all these old "friends" together. It makes me feel so left out and lonely. Im not even triggered right now but if I go out even for lunch I can see myself caving and having a drink.

Well if you've been here before and the result has always been the same then I would recommend doing something different. Simply quitting drugs or alcohol doesn't fix the problem for most. You might to need to actually recover from your illness. Look into some meetings in your area and just go and keep a open mind. You never know it might just change your life. Best of luck

Be patient with yourself. You are rebuilding a new and better life. It’s a process, and will take time. Breathe deep and slow down those negative/judging thoughts. You are doing ok. You’ve got a week clean from everything. Yeah you’ve been here before, but this time you are digging deeper. Just get thru today. Rather than think about all of the stressors and issues, write down a gratitude list. You can do this
It’s gonna be work. It’s your program of recovery.
