Popular Post DrewK15 Posted November 7, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 Hi all, I hit 18 months sober today. Just wanted to check in and say hi. Life is good. It’s hard, but so much better than it was while in my addiction. My health and emotional well being is solid. I have a really cool and supportive girlfriend. Still working on finding a job and getting back on my feet financially. That part has been frustrating and difficult, but I’m hanging in there! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewK15 Posted November 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 @Zajche Maybe. It’s hard to tell. My energy levels and clarity feel fine most days and I feel normal. I still struggle off and on, but I just chalk it up as having good and bad days just like everyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 Nice job @DrewK15 It’s easy to loose sight of just how far you’ve come as the months tic by. Keep up the great work. Hate to sound like Mr. obvious here, but I would suggest not taking on a heavy stress fast paced position out of the gates... I had a couple set backs going that route. It’s so tempting to want to rejoin the work world and get back to earning and performing at a high level, but that’s a trap coming out of years of addiction. I would try to find something your naturally skilled at and doesn’t require to much “extra” effort. The important part is building resilience and confidence as the days and months pass by at work... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
