Sober & sober-curious

[Macqua]

I haven’t been able to find a whole lot in the forums regarding sobriety.

It’s probably my biggest issue at the moment and would love to know some things like gratitudes and struggles from those sober.

In saying that, I know this can be a sensitive topic so please refrain from naming anything particular.

I’ll go ahead with a struggle and gratitude; I’m not loving feeling all my emotions in the sense that all I want is a bandaid but also loving it because it’s allowing me to learn more about myself and how to healthily process them.

If this is too hard to navigate, please feel free to delete, I won’t be offended!

morning @Macqua 

 there are a few older threads about sobriety and sober 

not sure if you were a big drinker or not 

we were only drinking a couple of beers a day which would seem like nothing to other people 

but we have not had a drink in ages , we are feeling a lot better without it 

but some days I really miss having one after a big day 

my husband said the drink was affecting his meds and MH

Hey @Shaz51, thanks for responding!

I was quite a big drinker, but it then got down to not so much but still daily.

Good on you and the hubby!

It affects my MH and meds as well so totally relate there. So many of my meds say no to that but it didn’t stop me.

I did see some older threads but not a new one but I saw “sober” mentioned in newer posts without one in particular. Just thought I’d see what happened and if it could help anyone perhaps reach out if needed ☺️

great idea @Macqua 

I will keep my eye open and tag others here 😎

This thread is a great suggestion for a future Recovery Webinar! @tyme  can you feed that into the mix? Our partners at Turning Point could help us deliver something. 

@Macqua and @Shaz51 any particular themes that would be good to cover in a live event?
