sober life sucks. tips?

Sober life is as boring or not enjoyable as you make it.

It does get easier but it takes time.

To get rid of your weight gain, and alleviate depression/mood swings get into exercise even if it's just taking a walk daily.

Some people find getting into a support group like NA/AA, or another group to be helpful but they get a sponsor and take sobriety seriously.

Since I got sober about 3 years ago I've gotten more into gardening, cooking, reading, writing, and I keep busy aside from work, and make sure that no matter how bad it gets I don't use alcohol or other drugs or hang around with friends I used a lot with in the past in places we used like in bars.

Don't feel bad about relapsing it's not a mistake if you learn something from it.
 
Sometimes when I am in the midst of it all, but can't feel anything... I think of this:

"Consciousness"

Eventually you will find your way back to the center, and everything you have ever wanted is there.

If that hat is also hard, do it every hour. One hour at a time. One morning or afternoon etc. You can do this.
 
Its also getting hard because since im clean and struggling with staying so i can't be around my druggie friends and im scared for them. I feel like when i was using i could be there too make sure that there okay and its scary to not even know who's still alive and who isn't.
 
It's a new day. How are you doing? Did you have to deal much with brain fog and if so is it gone?
 
Yes, I noticed. Hopefully he´s trying. Or going through a bad phase with w/d.
Being sober is great but it can be quite annoying sometimes..

I love you for it. I knew you were fighting it. I actually put myself "out there" with you when I read your post. Congratulations and I feel like some kind of metaphysical soul-caressing is in order. Peace
