Sobriety struggle

First weeks are tough. It helped me a lot to make a plan for it. For example: you discovered that your hardest struggles are when you are alone ore in some social settings. So think trough what would help you in this kind of situations.
It used to be alcohol, but now you try a plan B. Make a list of things that can help, try them all and keep those that work for you.
I will share you a link to my own sober plan I made more then 6 years ago.

The first months of my recovery I walked a lot in nature. It helped me to calm down and get out of my head. Sometimes I listened to a recovery podcast like “recovery elevator” to find extra motivation.
First 3 months I avoided every alcohol related event. And even now I’m 6,5 years sober I think through which drink I want to order before I go to a special event that triggers me.
Hope you find something you can use in your recovery too and if not this forum is filled with golden nuggets :wink:
All the best, Claudia :woman_raising_hand:
