Doing good but feeling bad

I hit 2 weeks today, I’m excited but I feel lost today. I can’t stop thinking about things I have no control of. I can’t stop thinking about the weeks ahead. I need to think day by day. I’ve been doing so good but right now my anxiety is getting me, my thoughts and feelings won’t let me get sleep. I just want my family back. I don’t miss the alcohol. I don’t miss the party life. I dont miss all the negative I just want my bestfriend back and be a home again. And to talk to my dad…

Hi, its a grind init? You seem to have a lovely family, and thats why your doing this. Same as i am. Im 44 and have wasted time pissing it up the wall and embarrassing myself and others. It takes time for people to forgive, they need to see your for real, so hang in there​:pray::fist:your doing amazing!

Praying for you. When I’m down I try to practice what I call “word magic” paying careful attention to the emotions and feelings I’m concentrating on and then rerouting my thoughts to the things I wish to have happen. The mind is a powerful tool if It can create the bad then it can create the good. The way we think has more power about the outcomes then we give it credit for. Visualizing you successful and taking back your power! You are great, successful and abundant. Receive your blessings.

I’m so sorry to hear that Kayla. I can feel how sad you are. My heart goes out to you. :cry:

It’s hard when we’re separated from family. They’re such a big part of our life and when we can’t see them it feels like part of us is missing. It’s a lonely feeling.

I don’t have an answer for you but I want you to know I hear you. Keep reaching out and know you’re not alone. We’re here to listen and your recovery groups are there to listen too. It hurts but you’re feeling it sober - and that is what’s helping you.

It does indeed sound like you’re doing well, so though things may seem dark at times, you shouldn’t be feeling badly. You’re on the right track and things are improving !
Maybe not quite as quickly as you might like… but you’re doing really well !
