Wasn’t sure where to share this but this seemed like an appropriate thread. I am so excited I finally got a little black kitty! I named her Nyx after the goddess of the night. I love her already!
Congratulations!
What a beautiful and purrrrfect name. 
Thank you! 
She’s beautiful! We’re going to need lots of pictures
Thank you!
This is what makes sobriety feel isolating to me.
And I’m certainly not complaining because I’ll take the isolation over the nightmare of addiction any day, but sometimes I have to ask myself if I’m coming off as though I feel superior by pulling away or declining invites.
I don’t feel better than anyone who is on a different path than me, I just know that I can’t continue in those dead end cycles.
I struggle with this at work and sometimes it feels isolating because I am the only one there that is sober Besides management and the owner. I work at a restaurant and a lot of times I feel like I’m invisible there and a lot of times I get ignored Or people treat me differently versus the people that go to the bars every day or every weekend. I’ve also heard people say things behind my back. But at the end of the day I have to consider the source. My grandfather used to say consider the source. The people at my job that party and drink everyday at clubs and bars are not people that I want in my life and don’t have the same goals. I know one thing the manager and the owner doesn’t ignore me. And I’m not invisible to the managers and the owner. I guess that’s all that really matters at my job. To an outsiders perspective that doesn’t know my story I probably do come across that I think I’m better than them but that just is because my sobriety makes them think about their own life and choices and makes them insecure. I am physically and mentally healthy from being sober and I have never been late and I’m operating at 100% every day that’s probably threatening to people that can barely get there in the morning Plus do the bare minimum. So I’m going to try to not let it affect me and I’m going to stick with the winners.
Thank you for this post
I came here because of this hat I got. If I can’t laugh about Some of my problems then what’s the point.. I’d rather laugh than cry. I’d rather make fun of some of my issues and utilize them then ignore them and feel bad about it
I love this. This is my biggest struggle by far. I’m definitely still working on it. Thanks for posting this.
