i have finally come to my conclusion that i am an addict. the first step is admitting that, now what?
I’m attending classes and trying to remember who I was before my spiral into addiction. It’s hard hurting the people around you and losing yourself, never would i think i would be an addict but that’s how addiction works im figuring out. I’m going to use this to show what i’ve been loving as a sober 20 something in a scene where partying is normalized, idk I will forever be a party girl but in a different sense. I love life and I can’t wait to experience it again how I used to.

💗Congratulations and kudos- what a huge step on all levels. I’m excited for you!
When I became sober (at 22), I thought about the things I loved about drinking/various drugs and tried to just be that way. So, if at its best drinking made you feel carefree, how can you mimic that just being yourself without the use of alcohol? If weed makes you feel calm and in the moment, what do you need to do to feel that way without it? It was a fun challenge and now over a decade into it, those parts are just integrated into me.
It’s also good to explore what purpose drinking etc. served for you. It’s good to get to the root of the issue. I found for me I was playing out a ton of emotional issues with it. Each thing was either to make me feel good, or to hurt myself. It was very clear once I took a break and looked closely. Personally, I wasn’t planning on being sober. Once I stopped and saw it all clearly I just never wanted to again.
Have something non alcoholic to have on you where there’s alcohol. Remind yourself of the reason you’re staying sober. I generally avoided anywhere with alcohol for a while, but it seems that might not be something you can do. If you need to leave, LEAVE. Even if to just get some fresh air and reground yourself.
It’s a journey but sober life can be lots of fun! Best of luck!!!

‼️128 days sober of alcohol in AA and making choices everyday that lead to a completely substance free life and I can say… highly recommend I’m not boring except to people who dislike me; I am regaining a purpose and sense of self. i genuinely don’t think a temporary sobriety challenge can replace what a commitment can do for the psyche. with love.
