Understanding the reality and releasing we are powerless is huge… you’re back, you’re fighting. You can do this, you are worth it.

We are all fucked up people. :joy: We just have to accept that and do the best we can to make each day a little better. I know it’s hard. I haven’t exactly figured out how to rid myself of my bad relationship all the way either. I keep thinking I have and then I get sucked backwards. I literally have made a list of all of the reasons I left that relationship, just like my list for why I no longer drink, and use it to remind myself of why I need to just shut the door. So for now I will be a fucked up person with you and push through this one day at a time. If that’s what we have to do then that’s what we have to do! You’re doing great. Just keep your head up, love yourself and keep pushing forward.

I’m right there with you. I had 18 months of sobriety at one point as well and I threw it away. Hard lesson to learn, but I’m learning. You can do this, it’s work and it can suck, but it can be so rewarding. Never stop trying. Just look at the differences in your posts from when you’re succeeding and putting some days together to how down you feel after you slip back. You owe sobriety to yourself and you’re definitely worth it. You have a whole group of people who believe in you. Just believe in yourself.

Day 6, I used today to watch the video conference for Women For Sobriety. I really need to make the practice of sobriety as my purpose in life.

Back at day one, for no real reason. I don’t know if it is the hangover, but just feel empty. I don’t particularly want to drink, but don’t feel the same zest for sobriety.

I’m sorry to hear this. That empty feeling can be the worst, I understand the desire to fill it with alcohol. I did that exact thing a lot. Never made me feel whole though. The most it ever did was prolong and increase that empty feeling. Sending some love your way. Don’t give up now. Better days are ahead.

Be kind to yourself @Misokatsu. Rest and get plenty of fluids and that zest will come back. You’ve done it before and you can do it again. Sending you hugs. :hugs:

  1. Coffee. Got to get going. I’m slow this morning. Hungover it would be much much worse. I really can’t imagine how I did it. Have a good day all. Sober and clean. Love from my neighbourhood.

Totally normal to lose that zest. Not everyone gets it, but I know I had a lovely pink fluffy cloud in early sobriety and I fell it off it hard after about 5 months.

For me it uncovered some depression, anxiety and self esteem issues that I am working through. Anyway, living with it is shit, but it’s less shit than being a depressed drunk. I mean empty and hungover is worse than just empty right?
