This is a great place to start. I think we often fall into addiction because it’s an escape from our feelings. We achieve sobriety being sober and recovery dealing with the rest. There are so many great people here who will understand you. Welcome Sammy, I’m glad you’re here.

Welcome Sam.
Glad you found us. Like Dan said this is a great support app. Lots of us all in the same boat. Not judging just trying not to take that first drink. The most important drink.
Just one day at a time.
Have a good read around here. This place has been a great place for me to get support in my sobriety. Addiction is too tough to go it alone. We are stronger in numbers. And we are all worth it.
Here are two good threads to start:

Welcome Sam and congratulations on 65 days! Dealing with feelings was difficult for me too. We have to get used to sitting with them and processing them. I know, easier said than done. But it does get easier I promise. There’s no way to go around so we must go through.

Remember that if sobriety was easy- no one would drink/use anymore…
It takes a special person to face it head on.
You’ll be ok, keep at it

Hello! Welcome! For me, in the beginning I felt that way. As the sober days added up, I started to realize that I didnt want to be numb any more. I wanted to live life, live thru the the bad stuff. I wanted to feel life. It gets easier. Stick around! You deserve a sober life!
