Thank you I definitely needed to hear this. 4 years ago I stared a fitness journey, lost 40lbs. Gained muscle and 15lbs but I was ok with it cause ya know muscle. Now I’ve gained another 10 since quarantine and my relapse before this go at sobriety. A year ago I didn’t even eat sweets and now I crave the crap out of it
Who knows? The important thing is you’re sober and you’re aware. Addiction is all about running, escaping, avoiding, numbing. You’re not doing that anymore. There’s probably some stuff to unpack, root causes; you’ll find them in time. And I bet as you do, you’ll find a lot of areas of your life will balance out more. Care for yourself and be kind and understanding to yourself - you deserve it

Today is day 7 of sobriety from alcohol and I’ve never made it this far before.
Concerned
I’m on day 29. And I’m usually a happy drunk. When I’m sober I worry about things, overthinking and stressing about a lot. I know drinking isn’t a good idea, but I don’t know how to get rid of the anxiety without drinking either.

I am Hopeful
Yesterday I felt this and decided to make a change. I was stressed and frustrated. Feel like I am in a rut with no where to go and no way to climb out of my hole. I cried. I need to change and I need to pull myself up by my bootstraps. I’m only on day two but I am hoping to stay strong and to keep this rolling on.
Sorry to hear you’re having a tough time. I think the general global lunacy is affecting all of us
