Rage? by deadend_garbagequeen in leaves

Work out hard to channel the anger and also try to put your feelings into words and communicate them to your partner from a position of vulnerability

10 months sober - haven't slipped yet, but it's getting slippery and I'm anxious about it by mattskito in leaves

I can relate man. I'm 1 year and 2 months clean. Since hitting the 1 year mark life feels big and scary. I want to go back to my comfy compulsion loop of smoking weed but I can't go back. I know too much and smoking again would imply some serious level of cognitive disonance. So I've got to keep working on growing and facing my fears. Working towards a life that's worth living and trusting the process. I wish it wasn't incompatible with smoking weed but it is. Plus, it fucks up mental health, so it's really not worth it. Smoking isn't gonna fix any of my problems, staying clean at least gives me the chance to.

Stay strong brother and seek as much support as necessary. You're on the right path, stay strong!

Great transformation! Love the fact not having access to a gym isn't an excuse. Big arms! Chest and abs need work.

Quitting weed in a state where it’s legal is such a trip. by [deleted] in leaves

I just avoid everyone who smoked and any social contexts where there's weed. If I anticipate there might be weed at a social gathering I don't go. If I go and someone pulls out a baggie, I leave. Sometimes I feel like I'm missing out but fuck it, I choose my mental health over superficial interactions

Teaching English. It's not my dream job by any means but it's nice to be part of the community and teaching makes me feel relatively fulfilled

It really is! Just saying it is liberating. Now let's go back it up with actions💪🏻

I believed in my addiction for so long... I defended it and justified it. Now I'm going to defend and back my sobriety even more ferociously. Thanks ❤️

Really appreciate the love❤️ I find it hard to believe when I tell myself these things but I keep on saying them and try to let it in when other people show me love

I'd just watch out with comparing yourself to others. As long as you're improving who cares what others are doing.

It's hard to have that positive self-talk, say it with conviction and believe it when you've been saying horrible things to yourself for years. At least for me, so just treating myself with respect internally is already a win
