Hey FF, I'm sure everyone has said this already but is it worth focusing just on your sobriety at present? I completely get wanting to wipe the slate clean, I applaud you for that - in some ways I think this is quite reflective of how us as addicts are rather extreme in our behaviours, but certainly this early on in sobriety having a few crutches must be the lesser of the evils surely?
Just a thought, sending you well wishes

I've decided my new addiction is going to be exercise. That'll be my healthy crutch.

I dont have one really. I drink diet coke a couple times a week. I eat chocolate a couple times a week (90% dark). I let myself have the things that I want in moderation since I work out 2-3 times a day I work it off. But I guess exercise is my vice.

Contemporary lifestyles, technologies, and economics seem to have increased the available number and intensity of “harmful voces [vices/voices] that you still indulge in”

I’ve always liked history to help understand cultural norms and institutions related to addiction.
