Hi Steve, welcome to the forum!
Since stopping drinking a few years ago I have experienced a lot of depression and anxiety that I didn’t really realise I had. It’s been shit in lots of ways, but through my sobriety I have learned so much about how to live a healthier, happier life. Feeling the feels is really hard but it’s been an important part of finding some peace with myself and making changes that feel a bit more sustainable in the long term.
Leaning into the recovery community on this app, meditation, yoga, walking, therapy and medication have all been a big part of my journey. It’s definitely not been a quick fix and I know I’m still a work in progress, but I’m so glad that I’m on this path.
