Struggling with Sobriety and the Empty Feeling it Brings

i definitely relate to this. i wouldn’t say i’m an addict (to anything other than nicotine lol) but i definitely have an addictive personality and have gone through periods of heavy substance abuse just trying to distract myself from how much i hated my life. once you stop for a while you’ll start to feel much better. It’s an endless cycle- you use bc you feel bad and using makes you end up feeling worse. you’re doing so good, keep going 💕

I understand the frustration as well, I’m far from where I want to be, but sometimes it’s easier to accept it and just take it day by day and celebrate the small steps

I hope you’re doing better since this time, but if not… I mean it sounds like you are being too hard on yourself. Overcoming addiction is a really impressive thing to do, the fact that you can do that shows that you have the ability to achieve so much more.
