Having to find all new places to hang out, and new people to be around is hard. I am on a mission and God is guiding me. I just have to remember to open my eyes.

I had to make 100% change, people, places… It’s a lot… But I’m enjoying the adventure.
I eat in different hoods that explore on the regular. I like seeing new things in parts of town I’ve never been…even shop at different stores…grocery included… Museums, art galleries, botanical gardens… All kinds of new stuff going on.
I take strength in knowing I have given myself the opportunity to introduce myself to others as I am.
I’m an ok person when sober, least I can do for others

It is hard. Change is hard. We sought recovery because addiction is hard. It gets more difficult to keep up with as it grows.
Recovery is the opposite. It feels hard but gets easier as it grows.

I’m trying different meetings. I’ve been to some good ones. I just got out of prison so things are overwhelming. I am still grateful to wake up sober, and not locked up.

I have the opportunity to move out of mt transitional housing into my own apartment. I’m really scared tho. It would be a lot of changes and riding the bus every where. I haven’t decided. I’d have to change doctors, mental health, case manager. Every thing. I just don’t know what to do.

I know how you feel. I do know that any growth I’ve had in my life has been uncomfortable, and when I’m comfortable I’m rarely moving forward. I pray a lot about decisions and it usually helps to comfort me in uncomfortable situations. If that makes sense.
