Coming here and posting your feelings helps too. Kind of gets them out of you and into the air where they can blow away.
I had a rough time of the first few months of sobriety until I started expressing gratitude for my blessings every day. I did it until it became a habit, a good healthy habit, and it changed my attitude. I had far fewer cravings when I was aware of my blessings. It made me realize just how much I had to lose if I drank. And my sobriety really 'took off'.
I felt happier and much less inclined to think about drinking. I felt 'at home' in my sobriety. Comfortable with not drinking.
It really made the difference to just count my blessings. And when I take note of all I'm blessed with it seems to
increase my blessings.
Try it. It sure helped me.
