I go to AA and have 15 years. It helps me get through my hardest times.

Doing my daily gratitude makes a big difference. The isolation can be a lot. Understand that in the isolation is where you will find your sober and authentic self so it really does serve a great purpose as tough as it can be.
You can call me anytime bro. Sent you a friend request by the way.

Write down daily and journal why you’re doing this! Use this as your fuel ! I was in the same boat 61 days ago and here I am! Strong supportive friends and family and loving how I feel!
I know this was posted two years ago, but I'm also from Colorado I'm in the springs maybe we can hit a meeting together!
Yes but Not alone
Connect be brave walk into the doors of an AA MEETING OR YOUR CHOICE, some of the best people i have ever met. It will totally supplement this program. I urge you when and if you will, to walk sit foen and listen. Look for similarities not differences. Lidten to th stories. Relate. The others their in sobriety will be helped because you are there, a newcomer.
Ps. You can always anytime call the hotline . Find a meeting, connect, good fun times spent with genuine peeps

Are you going to AA?
You don’t need to go out. Give yourself time. Workout. Take yourself camping for the weekend. Focus on you for 6 months
I support you!
Hello!
I also live in your state I believe. What really worked for me was knowing that I had energy to do the things I didn’t want to do and shift them into things I do want. If I wanted to drink Id go mountain bike, hike, cook, play video games, explore local sober meet ups. You’re going to be building a new life, but know there has been a solid foundation and community behind you for a long time (you just haven’t seen it yet)! Struggling in the beginning is normal just take it moment by moment and don’t beat yourself up over thoughts and emotions. Embrace and keep pace. You got this!
I just saw this and I can see it was posted two years ago. Hope you’re not so lost anymore 🫶🏼
Hey man. If you need someone to chat with, let me know!
Congrats on 12 days!
I have struggled with the new friends option. I avoided a couple of weekends with friends, but decided I would not lose decades of friendship with friends who drink, because I cant. The temptation is definitely there, but my friends are supportive because they are friends. It seems everyone's journey and needs to live sober are different. I am 70ish days in, after 30 years drunk. It isn't easy, but the health benefits, and the freedom to not have to plan life around drunkeness for me is tremendous. Keep reaching g out and if you need to talk I think I may be ready to help others by listening.

Stay safe. Don’t test yourself. Reach out, the phone is much lighter than you think. Trust in God. Help someone else if you can.
I know I'm having the same problem like I have nobody and it's okay for the first few days or for the first week but after that it's like what do you do?
I would love to chat
I'm trying to build my network.
I would love to chat. I'm trying to build my network and am new to the app. I know your post is old, but I hope you are still willing to talk to people.
