#Repost @sober.sister ・・・ Sometimes in recovery we focus so much on how much further we have to go. Focus and take stock on how far you've come. Don't let anyone discredit your hard work. You are living in recovery and should be proud #support #sobriety #earlysobriety #soberissexy #idontdrinkalcohol #selflove #change

One step at a time. When I first got sober there was so much that changed so quickly. Those first, 30,60,90 days were a whirlwind of emotions and exponential growth. Then eventually, things slowed down a bit, and balanced back out. This actually scared me because for so long my life had been chaos, and one shoe dropping right after another. I didn’t know what peace, balance, or calm felt like. I thought I was backsliding, and edging towards relapse. Luckily, this wasn’t the case at all. See, the big changes, the ones we can see or feel instantly are encouraging, but it’s the little things that come with time that make the biggest difference. Finally reaching a point in life and sobriety that I could share intimate details about my life and journey curated the most long lasting changes. For some this looks like therapy, long talks with a friend/spouse, or a 4th and 5th step with a sponsor. Small steps count just as much as giant leaps, keep moving forward, one step at a time! • • • • #earlysobriety #newlysober #sober #sobriety #soberliving #wedorecover #recoveryispossible #odaat #onestepatatime #babysteps #itworksifyouworkit #keepitsimple #sobercommunity #recoverycommunity #addictionrecovery #recoveringalcoholic #recoveryposse #growthjourney #soberjourney #recoveryjourney #fypage #soberblogger #recoveryblog #soberlifeisthebestlife #soberlivingrocks https://www.instagram.com/p/CpvAE9XuvNB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

And it’s a bitch

Maintaining romantic relationships in the phase of sobriety can be bit fragile because one can easily lose control over the sobriety because at during this phase one is not totally ready to adapt any changes in their romantic life that fast. Thus if the situation changes its track, it can take down the sober person to get addicted again.

It's funny how down I'm getting already. Looking at my roommate with her happy relationship makes me crave even more one of my own. When I start to recognize I am feeling any feelings of HAULT I understand that I'm supposed to feel these feelings but they don't need to be acted upon. I feel angry that I don't have anyone to spend my days with. But when I start to examine these feelings, why is it that I feel angry? Maybe it's because my ego tells me I'm special enough to have someone to pay lots of attention to me. Maybe it's telling me that I'm just as pretty and smart as her so maybe I should have a boyfriend too. These are self seeking behaviors that don't benefit me in a any sort of positive way. Feelings are not facts. It's time to make this day great.

Sometimes I feel like a loser. Like I'm not good enough. I have to get rid of those feelings. They're not facts.
