Struggling with Reality
Hi all,
I'm really struggling with reality right now. Staying fully present. Staying in sobriety. Reality seems awful. I feel like such a whiner though, it's been 24 hours since I last played a video game. Twenty years ago I quit smoking (a lot of) weed, and tried to fully embrace reality in a sober mindset. I feel like I fell off the wagon though. I'm not sure if anything I'm saying is making sense. Please don't judge me too harshly. I'm always being pretty hard on myself. I was just wondering if anybody had ever felt this way too.

No judgement.
Its hard to stay sober, but fair play. You seem to be struggling it it's ok to not feel grounded in reality. Take it one day at a time. All you can ever do is your best and don't let your emotions or addictions take control, sending you my best wishes 💕💜
@Amanda84 Thank you for your kind words. They really help. I think you're right about doing one day at a time. I wasn't really looking at it that way. Accepting my experience as it is was also not how I was really looking at it. I've decided to pull my 12-step devotional back out and read it every morning. Anyway, you helped, thanks.

You are genuinely welcome, nice to meet you 🥰💜
@Amanda84 and nice to meet you as well!

@ThistlesAndThorns the first thing that you need to do is to be easy on yourself i know it may look insane but actually it's the way. Start to love yourself and write your thoughts everyday that will keep you focus and improve your inner peace
Don’t give up! Things will get better
