Wow, these last few days have been tough for me. I have been in treatment the last 30 something odd days & haven’t had much experience with stress since I’ve been home. This weekend was hectic asf. Had my son’s birthday one day, a food fundraiser the following day, and Halloween stuff to do another day. Usually, I’d end up using when I was facing hectic social situations; however, I was able to get through it with just me and my higher power. I still struggled a lot the last few days, my anxiety thru the roof, and had cravings like crazy. I don’t have to use today, even though it seems like the easiest answer right now.

You don’t have to do it alone. I went through similar experiences early in sobriety. Still some days can be challenging. However I lean into my program, higher power and sober peeps. I’m here if you ever want to talk.

You only have to stay one day at a time. You got it, man. In the early days I reached out to people I met in treatment. I am shy when it comes to making friends. I met a guy that was my exact opposite. We happened to live within a couple of miles of each. I didn’t really like him. Almost 2 1/2 years later we are close friends and still sober. You never know unless you reach out. It helped me.
