Getting sober includes a lot of changes.
That’s scary I now!
But the good part is that all those changes are not coming at one day.
It’s a process. And if I look back at mine it includes years.
Quiting alcohol physical was the “easy” part for me. Bad sleap, irritation, night sweats, anxiaty, being restless, cravings, etc. But the mental part stays for a long time.
Being prepared for that helps! How? By making some kind of a plan and reading a lot of your addiction and the stages of it.
I would like to suggest this thread:
What's YOUR plan? It gives you some information about what I’m trying to say here.
I’m almost 6 years sober now. Still I’m changing and growing in my recovery. It’s a huge part of who I am. And it may sound strange, but in a way I’m proud of being an alcoholic. Not about the drinking and being stupid. But how I handled it and took steps to change and keep changing.
It gave me a lot. My life changes from flat and surviving into an colourful exploring one.
I wish you the same!
Go get it!
