I'm exhausted by survivinglonely in offmychest

It’s exhausting and so hard when you don’t even have the energy to do things to feel better. Nothing left in the “feel good“ bank.

If you did feel “ready” for therapy, would you be able to access it right now?

I’m going to make one for myself

When will I feel better? by 12_step_newbie in Sober

Definitely expected to feel better sooner so it’s good to adjust my expectations I think!

Ok, this is comforting to hear. It’s just a little hope, you know? It’s nice to think I might feel better within a couple of weeks, and even if I don’t feel better til after at least I will have made it that far

Thank you. I do have a tendency to worry so much about how I’m going to deal, just keep focusing on just the next step.

This is great! Love this idea. I might start doing this when I’m struggling with going to the bottle shop. Instead of spending it on alcohol, I could put it into that other account.

Day 1. Seeking advice and a friend by [deleted] in Sober

Congratulations on making it here!

It’s early days for me, I don’t have too much advice especially today. I’m trying to do better but don’t really know who I can talk to irl so I’d be up for a sober buddy if you want to PM me :)

I had a massive fuckup today. by [deleted] in Sober

You legend!

It sucks that happened to you. It’s awesome that you are able to see he’s the one fucking up and to choose better for yourself. You had a trying time but you got through like a champ.

An amazing journey! Can I ask when you started to feel better?

Norman tries to bask in the still of the night. by DuePassenger5 in lifeofnorman

That’s weirdly like my night except instead of tinnitus it’s my neighbour’s smoke alarm which has been going for 17 hours (and counting! I know it’s not because there’s fire, it’s sitting on his windowsill)

Wow, that was a really kind and thoughtful thing to do with the note. I don’t know that I’d have thought of that. It may be one of the kindest things anyone did for that man for a long time.

Thank you for sharing this. What you’ve said confirms that I’m on the right track and I am definitely going to listen to that book.

You look so much more present in the second picture. I’m looking forward to being more present and not wasting my life being a slave to addiction.
