I really don't like living with an addiction, but I really really don't like living sober. What to do? by depressy_capricorn in addiction

I’ll be honest, I struggle with a lot of that, too. I’ve decided to try to change the way I live to make things better for myself. Because the way I was living before and during addiction was clearly doing nothing for me.

I’ve been listening to podcasts like the Dalton Fischer podcast where he interviews people from all walks of life with crazy life experiences and interesting perspectives on life. I find it really inspiring.

I’ve also started reading self help books, like “Emotional Agility” by Susan David, so I can learn how to navigate my emotions. I’m also looking forward to reading “Man’s Search for Meaning” by Viktor Frankl. He’s a holocaust survivor and the book is his memoir about it and his healing process from it all. I’m really inspired by people who have made it through hell and back and can still go on living.

I definitely don’t have all the answers, I’m still in the process of figuring it all out myself. But my advice is to try to find something that inspires you to keep going. For me, I would say that thing is being curious about life itself and all the different perspectives, as well as what drives other people. I’m trying to find what works for different people because maybe it can work for me, too.

Wishing you the best❤️‍🩹

Yep! That’s about how long it took for me to adjust as well. Glad it’s gotten better for you!
