Day 5 anyone feel like they’re 2 different ppl ?
The ppl everyone wants them to be?
And then their true self?
I feel like I’ve lost myself between those 2 mediums and having trouble finding myself again…
Still sober. Still here. Trying not to fight.
Peace to all

Question: do you ever find yourself finding other addictions, like getting obsessed with something. I had for exampel carbonated water: drank nothing else. Ice cream: same brand everyday(I have to get out of this one), chocolate/cake/cookies/pastries. Foods eaten repeatedly Because I have to. Work out(this one I changed out faster then others, but should have keept 
). I see that I find something to focus hard on, then time to time change it out with something else.
Anyone else like this?
I only feel like 2 different people when I’m actively drinking. Me, and that other version of me that I really don’t care for. Being sober, there’s just me. Like Popeye says ‘I am what I am and that’s all that I am.’
You do you. Whatever you you want to be. Not the you ‘they’ want you to be. Live for yourself 
That’s awesome Stella, I struggle with a SIB as well and it can be hard to stop. Congrats on so many days sober
I absolutely get like this!! I often thought that I just had an “addictive personality” but i think what it is, is that I am not getting down to the root of my addictions. For example, my main past addiction was drugs. Had been for many years. And i used drugs to fill a void thats within myself. I just always felt like something was missing. Its hard to explain but maybe u can relate. Every time i quit using drugs and drinking, i substituted that addiction for something else. From shopping and spending money, to food, to exercise, to whatever else I could use to fill that void. The problem is that these outside sources are temporary. So eventually i am never satisfied and have to switch to something else. Its almost like I am searching for something to focus on, something to distract me, something to make me feel good. Im like this right now with dieting and exercise. I can see it becoming an addiction. I am soo focused on nutrition and supplements and exercise that its taking up a lot of time and alot of thinking. Almost too much. And even tho exercise and nutrition is healthy, i dont have balance in my life. As of right now, im trying to find balance. Do you think this is sort of what ur going thru?
Checking in on day 17. So glad to not have a hangover on this 3 day weekend
Huge Hugs Stella! I hope that your feeling calmer and more at peace today. Soooo glad u got thru it.
They are the most delicious thing you’ll ever try. They are like a puff pastry with this amazing filling.
Yeah, Im thinking that I have a addictiv personality. That I alway find something with or without intention. I feel I cant just relax if Im sitting, I have to do something, or the time feels waist or I feel restless. Or if I dont eat or drink something good I dont feel good, like I need that something to actually feel good within my self.
Addiction runs in my family, so it kinda already was in me. I dont know exactly why it got out of hand, but I know I feelt so much better drinking: happy, relaxed, out. The hardest part qutting was not the physical, the psychic and mental omg it was brutal.
Maybe, I dont know. What void could I have. I have a hard time getting myself, to understand my self and why I am the way I am.
Ahhh, for me it’s Tik Tok. I am distracting myself with this even though mostly the second a video hits I am already scrolling. For hours. Thank goodness for online meetings and chat forums. Although I have found some Sober Tok very helpful, mostly I am just numbing my noggin. I quit smoking and drinking cold turkey so I am giving myself some grace on this one! But, I would be better off hitting the gym for sure!
Mmmmm… makes me think of the North End in Boston. Yummy pastry stores there!
