I Methd Up...DAY 1

It’s funny, when we get sober the question of “what do I do with all this time” is actually - super eye-opening! All of a sudden we realize how much time we’ve lost.

There’s a few good threads about this with loads of ideas - here’s one:

You’ve got your life back now. I’d suggest taking some time in meetings (search some up on www.NA.org or another group - there’s a good list here: Resources for our recovery - many have online options), because getting sober is more than just not using; it’s also about learning to live your life, as yourself, not just some spaced-out addict (which we all were in one way or another). Those are actual, normal, psychological, social skills we need to learn, and we can learn them in groups. (Non-addicts use these every day without thinking about it; we need to learn it. Fortunately it is learnable!)

The most important thing: don’t give up! You’re a good person, a good parent, and you deserve a safe, sober life where you can be your full self.
