Hi! 23 days in and needing a pen pal!

I’m a highly anxious person who is overcoming an alcohol addiction. The thought of AA is too much right now. Day 3-20 I’ve been really positive and happy about my choice to be sober but day 23 me is actively wanting and planning to relapse. I’d love to exchange emails or messenger chats if anyone else is willing?

Why not just come in here every day, integrate yourself in to the community and chat to lots of people. The ones who do that tend to build up a good amount of sober days​:pray::pray:

I tried that but again I’m an anxious person and everyday hundreds of people were checking in (that’s amazing) and I feel like I would prefer a little more one on one check ins

Hi, you are very welcome here! If you want we can stay in touch and motivate each other. Send me a private message :grinning: Good work on your 20+ days!

Hey, welcome :blush: I’m also dealing with alcohol addiction and I’m a medicated mega-anxious person! Always here if you want to check in everyday or need someone to chat to personally. I’ve also had days where I’ve actively planned to relapse but I’ve remained strong, despite all odds.

Keep going - we’ve got this! :heart:

Have you ever tried or thought of online meetings? You can keep your camera off / just listen, which is a good way to get the content of a meeting without the anxiety of going to a place or being in front of people.
