Why not do a live meeting?
like AA? probably not, thinking more of a bike ride, shopping, a car ride on back roads.
Sounds cool on any. I remember when I stopped booze I got into craft sodas. I would drive to random places to check out the special sodas or flavoured water selection. It was a reason to get out and get out of my head…
Congrats on your clean time, you’re doing good. One thing that I can suggest is get to know your clean date because you want to hold on to that. Just my 2 cents. I have been an addict of all drugs, in all ways for over 25 years and just doing my first six months now. I did have months before but it never met anything, this time
It does and seems so much easier…

Changed my life completely. I do feel like a bit of a different person but I’m thankful I hated myself. I still have the same core but not rooted in shit.
A month ago today I was drinking.
Today has been weirdly bad, kinda shaky, now I am in bed just waiting for the night, I am listening to Art Bell on YouTube.
I need to be done with the quiting and get on to the living, hopefully soon.

Give it time. First months are a bit like surviving. Do not look too far ahead. Just get trough the day sober. It will get better, babysteps.
For me the first 3 months where the hardest.

yes. it is getting better but today I am tired and lazy so went to bed and surf the net

I use CBD gummies as well. They should not be making you feel anxious though.
I tried thc, too, that made me anxious, the cbd is fine.
