Rec | GOING SOBER

😃

Been 43 days. Unsure exactly, but it’s damn near the longest I’ve been sober in 2 years. My mind feels better every day. I think I’m a better person (contested, I’m sure). Added bonus, I look really good (empirically). Highly reccomend. Might make some recs on how to do it, as I’ve struggled to go longer than 2 weeks up until now.

Sobriety

Ive been sober for a year and five months. It hasn’t been an easy road, but it has changed my life, and I am incredibly grateful.

Sobriety

When you get sober you start noticing things. It’s not necessarily good or bad it’s just an observation. I’m 10 months clean and sober this month, and it’s been a long and arduous process, but maybe you just had a few too many over the holidays and need a break. Dry January is never a bad thing. Put down the ketamine and the beer and just have a nice wholesome normal interaction for once!! You might wind up actually enjoying yourself. They can pry cigarettes from my cold dead hands though...

Sober thoughts

Congratulations and kudos- what a huge step on all levels. I’m excited for you! When I became sober (at 22), I thought about the things I loved about drinking/various drugs and tried to just be that way. So, if at its best drinking made you feel carefree, how can you mimic that just being yourself without the use of alcohol? If weed makes you feel calm and in the moment, what do you need to do to feel that way without it? It was a fun challenge and now over a decade into it, those parts are just integrated into me. It’s also good to explore what purpose drinking etc. served for you. It’s good to get to the root of the issue. I found for me I was playing out a ton of emotional issues with it. Each thing was either to make me feel good, or to hurt myself. It was very clear once I took a break and looked closely. Personally, I wasn’t planning on being sober. Once I stopped and saw it all clearly I just never wanted to again. Have something non alcoholic to have on you where there’s alcohol. Remind yourself of the reason you’re staying sober. I generally avoided anywhere with alcohol for a while, but it seems that might not be something you can do. If you need to leave, LEAVE. Even if to just get some fresh air and reground yourself. It’s a journey but sober life can be lots of fun! Best of luck!!!
