@taraindia if you truly want to get sober, you’ll have to be willing to do anything to make a change. You can’t keep doing the same thing expecting a different result. Distance yourself from people you party with, quit going to bars, don’t ever step foot in a liquor store. You need to gain footing in early sobriety. You’ll learn to get comfortable with yourself by initially being uncomfortable. You’ll learn to feel without numbing it. You’ll learn about yourself and this addiction. Youll learn how to take care of you body, mind, and spirit and give it what it needs. Is it easy? No, not always. Is it worth it? Absolutely. I highly suggest finding a meeting or some kind of support. > [@Different Aspects of Recovery](http://talkingsober.com/t/different-aspects-of-recovery/6571): > > Here’s the section to add any links that pertain to sobriety and recovery.
