Some encouragement anyone?

2 months and 13 days sober and im not feeling any better about my situation. Im still craving alcohol on a daily basis, im always so tired and have no motivation. I figured by now atleast id feel somewhat better but on days like today im just feeling down… and i need a drink!

Just realized i signed in under a different account… basic short story… i am a 26 year old female struggling with alcohol “addiction” or so i question. This is the longest ive been sober in ATLEAST 6 years

Have you seen your doctor? I’d start there and rule out any other potential health problems you have.

Also, the affects of alcohol can take up to a year to repair your body.

Don’t be discouraged, stay strong! :muscle::muscle::muscle:

I really dont remember much of my childhood to be honest but i am slowly but surely finding things i like to do… of course when the motivation presents itself. I drank for every reason under the sun happy,sad, bored etc. Ive made alot of excuses for it but i knew it was time to stop… i hadnt hit roxk bottom yet but i knew it was close. I feel alone in this process which is why i am grateful to have found this. Everyone i have surrounded myself with are big drinkers and although they support my decision… theres not much sober time offered, ive become the boring friend. And while im ok with that… im not really ok with that. If that makes sense at all… thanks for letting me share!! @Oliverjava
