Hello everyone I hope your all well ! Today is Day 5 for me and through all the rollercoaster of emotions I’ve been feeling I can say that two are being proud of myself and shocked that I made it this far I can only hope to keep on going. I started to take up a few hobbies like biking and I love the cloud watching thread very relaxing

5 days, congratations that will be me tomorrow. Well done for finding new hobbies and interests. I’ve done the same. Looking after myself is a priority now both physically and mentally. I’m embracing it and doing it with a smile on my face because I know I can do this.

Keep up the good work. The first few weeks are the toughest. Pretty soon you will have started some new habits that will become your new normal. Make them good habits, and fun habits!
I’m almost 9 months sober and I love my early mornings, my swimming and biking workouts and how much better I feel all day with healthier brain chemistry. No hangovers, very little anxiety, and steady energy all day is so great.
Keep going, it will get easier.

@LAB Congratulations on 9 months sober ! 
i can’t imagine how rewarding that must feel. And I think the best part about recovery is discovering new hobbies and old interest it’s like discovering things about yourself all over again !
Congratulations. I’m on day 5 too. Second time lucky for me (hopefully)! Today has been tough… but running seemed to help.

@Lovelyoutlook Thank you so much ! And I couldn’t agree more if I didn’t make the effort to pick up new hobbies and make small changes I would have relapsed again
