It’s been a while since I got on here… I figured why not. I received a 14 day eviction notice today and it’s my wife’s birthday tomorrow. As you can imagine this is pushing me in the direction of not giving a fuck still if I give up on me nothing good can come from that. Damn it’s an itch I can’t scratch, talk to me people, please! This eviction has a lot to do with my habits prior to this journey, it’s been almost 2 months since I’ve drank or smoked and I feel amazing but with all the toxic shit out my hair everything is clearly crumbling and I’m not always sure what to do so motivation and inspiration or some encouragement is all I ask for! Prayers are welcomed as well, thanks gang!

Hey CIN, it is going to work out like it’s supposed to. Fuck future tripping, takes away from today, and sounds like you got a lot of great things going on being sober! Evictions happen, doesn’t mean we gotta get lit. That never solved, or helped shit.
Hug that birthday gal, hold her tight and just be in today. You deserve freedom and sanity.

I’m sorry you have to deal with this and feel triggered by it. Glad you reached out here, before reaching for a drink.
Not drinking/smoking for a while is one thing. Dealing with the aftermath of bad choices we did while under the influence… now that’s sobriety.
Step up to the problem in front of you. Step up to sobriety and hold yourself accountable for whatever shit has followed you from your old life into your new. Will it be hard and uncomfortable? Yes, it will be. Achieving sobriety isn’t easy. If it would be easy, all the people here would have nothing to talk about. But it can be done!
Face it, sort it, learn from it and rest assured your future sober life choices will be better.

This right here…hit hard. Im still dealing with the aftermath… Even after 6 years sober. Maning up and seeking help was hard for me. I wish you the best.
