The hardest part of being sober for the past 103 days is “feeling” stuff. Ugh. I don’t EVER want to go back to drinking, but damn.....being sober is hard sometimes.

Yes, it is very hard, but it will get easier and you will feel much more comfortable with your feelings. 103 days is terrific!

Stay the course. It gets better. It's hard sometimes but it gets easier with time.

Thank you. Today has been the hardest day so far for some reason. No way I’m drinkimg tho. That would be WAY worse.

I know it's hard, KiKi. I think everyone struggles with feeling "stuff" in early recovery. I sure did, but I figured at least my brain wasn't soaked in alcohol and I was clear-headed enough to process everything correctly.

Great job on 103 days!

It is hard Kiki but I really believe it gets easier. I had no idea how capable I was until I have up drinking and faced life full on.

By addressing the feeling and accepting its being and unpleasantness, I feel a little better.

Drinking is way harder. Living life as a heavy daily drinker was like being completely encased in a thick mucus, making it too hard to make even the simplest decisions about my life. That sh*t was exhausting.

The emotions will become less raw. Stick with it — 103 days is great!

Thanks again! I’m going to bed sober and feel much better! The bad feelings passed. Thank God I didn’t drink! Never worth it! It felt good just to post here on SR. It made a huge difference and took the power of my feelings away. Thanks for the kindness! On to day 104!

I find that both good and bad feelings are amplified when sober. Substances blunt everything.

Without that chemical fog, those damned feels seem much sharper and brighter than they are. Things adjust with longer time without your drugs of choice.

I find that the emotion that has increased more both in quantity and quality than any other is joy.

Congratulations on 104 days, KiKi. Sobriety is hard but so worth it, and as you know there is nothing that could ever happen that drinking wouldn't make Infinitely worse. Wishing you all the best on your sober journey.
