Welcome to SR Wanda

Have you ever heard the expression 'fake it til you make it'. It's an AA thing but I think it relates to sobriety no matter how you do it. Life isn't all sunshine and roses the minute we stop drinking. I found I had to learn how to enjoy life sober and even just how to function. It takes time. What kept me going sometimes was thinking that if I drank it would be like saying I had to drink to live which is clearly ridiculous. It gets better gradually but it does get better x
