Vulnerable - for me

Hi

Todays day 4 - happy about that.

It can be hard for me to be vulnerable, but the past 3 days have been tough, no motivation, stomach irritated, oscillation between short bursts of energy and deep slumps, lack sleep.

Im proud of the 3 days, but also know thats barely even scratched the surface of sobriety.

Welcome to Talking Sober Marc! And congrats on reaching day 4. I hope this place can be as helpful and supportive for you as it is and has been for me. Sharing our stories, supporting each other, gaining knowledge of addiction and how to do our lives sober. We can’t do it alone and here we’re doing it together.

You are totally right to be proud of your three days. It’s one day at a time for all of us, and these first days are the hardest too. Each day it will get a tiny little bit easier, unnoticeable at first but over time you will notice. Wishing you a good stay here and all success in your sober journey.

3 is huge! Without three there could be no 4. Without 3 you’re stuck with just 1s and 2s as an option. The first week is rough. Ride it out and make it your last day 3. Well done!! 🩷

The early days are certainly physically tough. And it is tough mentally too. It does get easier though, I promise. One day at a time. :purple_heart:
