Welcome Makaila
And congratulations on your day 2.
I was pretty afraid when I first started out too. I think I was afraid I would succeed, and then what would I do? How would I live? How could I possibly live my life not planning it around my next drink. How could I finally live without a hangover and crushing headaches at 3 am. Ya I was terrified. How could I live?
Well I just started a gratitude list everyday. Actively list everything I’m grateful for now that I’m sober. I didn’t have much or so I thought at first. But I was pretty grateful I hit the pillow sober. I was extremely grateful to wake up without a hangover. I was grateful for walking my dog without a hangover. Sitting with my purring cat. I am grateful I get to take care of my pets sober and they love me more. Yes they do. As time went on I was grateful for more stuff and my list kept growing and I’d get one more day sober. ODAAT. Now I can’t wait to do my gratitude list in the morning. I’ve totally retrained my brain.
There’s a beautiful bunch of grateful loving addicts on this thread that have so much because we are sober.
Come on over and check us out if you like. I think we got room for some more gratitude if you’re interested.
