7 days sober and I’m feeling the sober life!

Feeling really good I thought I would be going insane by now like usual but I’ve been keeping as busy as possible. I’ve stopped drinking, sniffing cocaine and smoking weed/ciggerettes after 5 years of abusing my body. However I have started sertaline antidepressant medication but I’ve realised I’m just treating my illness of depression and anxiety with a better solution than illegal drugs. I’ve also started dating which I never thought I could do without being high and I’m actually enjoying the company and it’s not anywhere near as bad as I thought. Being transgender in the dating world is hard because I’m always constantly thinking irrelevant thoughts of why this person wouldn’t like me instead of why she would! I’m trying to switch these thoughts to positive ones as much as possible. Thanks to everyone for the support this app is literally a blessing I wouldn’t be sober without it!!!

I’m happy for you!
But be aware that dating in the beginning of your sobriaty isn’t easy. That’s why the advise is to wait with dating for when you are stronger and have more sober days.
But we all are different so maybe it works for you :hugs:
Congratulations with your 1 week sober! :confetti_ball::facepunch::confetti_ball:
