Minutes are becoming hours, I am so trying to stay sober and not gamble. I just want to get through this weekend. I can and I will, but I am feeling so bored and tired and craving everything I shouldn't

Getting kind of lost in my head a filled with despair, I am gonna get through the weekend I think, but this feel is so horrible. I don't even know what to think or do, I am stuck mentally.

Read the stories of recovery if you want inspiration to stay sober.

I felt that way early on, Thatdeliveryguy - but it got much better as I got used to my new life. We have to learn to live in a new way. Be patient with yourself - you're doing great.

I agree that posting and reading here is a good way to pass the time. I binge-watched movies in the beginning to take my mind off of 'it'. Took lots of walks too. You'll get through this and it will get easier.

In the beginning of my sobriety the clock seemed to tick by sooooo slowly. The thought of when is this day ever going to end came often. Now, there aren't enough hours in the day and the days whiz by too quickly. You will find your way. It helped me to have plans. Even small plans. Nothing overwhelming or too complicated that couldn't be done in a day. Like "today, I will clean my bathroom". That small.

Hang in there.

Hmmm...ya I tend to read, hang at SR, watch television/movies/Netflix, eat crap, play Candy Crush and wear comfy clothes...ALOT these days.
