@siand nice one! Hadn’t noticed this thread otherwise it would have been my addition for sure.
Let me explain why this video works for lots.
We get stressed out over all the weird stuff we feel during early recovery. In my tree’t they showed me this video. It explains what your mind, brain and body will go through.
I advise to date a timeline after watching the vid.
Dating when you will aprox. Hit the Wall which is explained about in the vid. And when you’ll enter the third phase of new behavior to be introduced to your systems.
I wish everyone who recognized they are powerless to our decease the strength to go through this process and I wish you all to not do this alone.

Yoga! Good for health, strength and mindfulness which are all just helpful things, but especially in early sobriety.
A few of us are doing the new Yoga With Adrienne 30 day yoga series, Home:
And will be sharing our progress on the yoga group thread.
Adrienne isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but there are other yoga chats going on here too

With the forum being so busy it can be hard to know where to jump in. I find the daily check in thread is a good place to hang out and get to know people, without having to create your own topics. It’s a place to share struggles, celebrate successes and get support. Being reminded that we are not unique, that others experience similar challenges and that we all have things we can learn from each other, wherever we are in our journey, is a wonderful thing!

Getting outdoors and getting moving is a brilliant way to start building healthy habits. Walking solo can be a good way to practice mindfulness and process some of the feelings that come up in sobriety. But it’s also a great group activity, a way to meet new people and build sober relationships.

Sobriety is definitely a journey… It takes time and things change! Here’s a great summary of some of the stages people go through, which you might recognise…

Something about sobriety is feeling all the feels. There’s a lot to process and it’s probably stuff you’ve pushed away, ignored, or made worse through your addiction. It can be hard to face up to.
@aircircle shares some really helpful stuff on this thread, taken from The Language of Letting Go app.

Most of us with some decent sobriety time had tried (and failed) to get sober before. These posts are a collection of things that didn’t work… Any of them sound familiar?
Learning what doesn’t work for you can be an important part of making sobriety stick, as long as you act on what you learn. Nothing changes if nothing changes!

I am not so patiently waiting for these to start. I don’t even care how loud or how frequent. I just need them. Now.
