Welcome to Talking Sober Jenni! The number one thing I learned in my recovery is that I can’t do it alone. I need connection, I need peers, I need others in my life to make it. To live a life worth living. And initially I found that right here. And still do find it here btw, but I’ve expanded my life and my connections since too.
My point is, this isn’t about self control. It is about building ourselves a life we don’t feel the need to run from by engaging in addictive patterns and behaviours. It’s about realizing we are in this together, and that we can’t do it alone. When used right, this place will give you a whole bunch of acountablillity partners friend. Have a good look around, read, learn, support and be supported! This might be a good place to start:
