Hi guys so those who dont no been sober 227 days now but have had a shoulder injury last couple of months ive really tried to stay positive and even been out on dates with a girl which has been nice but it keeps coming back to my injury i cant do anything at minute and its really starting to put me in a depressed state ( i have mood altering depression and anxiety) and that used to set me off drinking while ive been able to cope before as i could go to the gym or take myself off for a climb or hike in mountains i cant for obvious reasons also im not working so i just get thoughts of giving in and just being pain free for a night , as ive been given medication for pain but it doesn’t help im just tired of the pain 
i really dont want to give in so am reaching out. Thank you 
That sounds hard, I am sorry. You certainly are not alone in having struggles. For me, I try to remember why I got sober, what a complete and utter shit show my life and especially my brain and feelings were. Do you have old journals you can read to remind you of how far you have come? That helps me.
Are you able to take any walks? I know you miss hiking and it isn’t the same. But nature walks can be healing on their own as well.
Managing pain, life changes, sobriety…it is a lot…you are doing a great job, even if it may not always feel like it. Perhaps talk with your doctor on non addictive pain management options?
You didn’t ask for advice, so ignore mine please if unwanted. 
Sending strength and gentle hugs to you. 
Glad you came here instead of giving in! You have some serious sober time racked up, so keep that going!
