I’m on day 3+ of being alcohol free! I’ve been visiting home for the holidays and am traveling back to California where I’m in school. Im nervous about being without family, being alone, etc. not feeling very well today. Any motivational words of wisdom are appreciated.
Congrats on day 3…it will get easier over time. Have you thought about going to an AA meeting where you’ll be amongst people on the same sober journey as you? Seek out sober friends and resources to help you on this new path. I’m sorry you’re not feeling well…this too shall pass.
I have tried aa before and it just isn’t for me. It could have been the individual meetings I suppose. I am meeting with an alcohol counselor on campus when I am back, and there are group meetings and other options for counseling through the univserity that I plan on exploring. It’s just kind of getting back to the environment that I was in before the holidays that has me anxious.
Sorry AA didnt work for you as Melrm suggested . i didnt fancy my first few meets but i stuck in 30 years later it worked . but wish you well with the counseling best of luck
