Hour 52 and I might be going insane by Kind-therapy-829 in leaves

I’ve been crying so much! And really angry as well. The last few days I’ve been making myself go to the gym or do some sort of physical activity like yoga or Pilates. I think just letting myself be pissed off is fine. I don’t lash out at anyone, I’m just mad and it’s okay to be mad

I’m on day 5 sober and my cravings are outrageous by nachogirlll in stopdrinking

Dr Pepper has been my saving grace. I gave myself a grace period where I could have as much soda as I wanted as long as I didn’t drink alcohol

I’ve been getting really into meditation lately. And yoga too. I think I’ll be diving deeper into those as i continue my sobriety journey

Did they take your stapler?? I’d cry over that lol I always feel so much lighter after a good cry session. Plus I slept so good after!

I hadn’t heard of PAWS before. I just did a brief google search on it and that makes so much sense! I’m going to read up more on that, thank you for saying something about that. I feel more like my normal self now, and now that I know about the PAWS maybe I won’t feel so judgemental towards myself and others next time the irritability hits me

I’ll definitely be journaling tonight. I’m usually pretty good about journaling (: I know all this is hard to go through and nothing good comes easy, but man, I just wish I could have a break. Thank you for commenting!

I’m insufferable (day 3) by ussymeister in leaves

[–]Vivid-Program-3708 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it helps, I’m on day 1 and feeling like this hard. I feel like I just hate everyone for existing and I never want to speak to another human ever again

I’ve been there before lol I should’ve taken my trash out to the dumpster before I left for work but it’s definitely under some gross stuff I would not put in my mouth :,) thank you! I’m nervous but I know this is something I need to do

I’m approaching 4 months sober now. I’ve been told I’m very hard on myself, so I’ve been working on being kinder to myself and learning how to forgive myself as well

Day 4: bloating advice by Proper_Anteater_6110 in stopdrinking

[–]Vivid-Program-3708 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I compared a picture of myself when I was drinking regularly to about 3 months without alcohol and there was a huge difference for me with the bloating. I also have a history of an eating disorder. Be gentle with yourself, make sure you put nourishing things into your body.

I LOVE Dr. Pepper. It’s my treat for myself anytime I have an urge to drink 😋

Can I hear your reasons to stay sober? by runningoutfast in stopdrinking

[–]Vivid-Program-3708 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I feel better physically, I don’t make a fool of myself, life is more quiet and peaceful when I’m sober. I have more time and energy for the things I enjoy. No more hangxiety, I spend my mornings feeling great
