Hi!! I just started my sobriety journey today— I’m kind of scared of how hard it will be and exercising self control. I’m a bartender so I’m around alcohol constantly. My bar also gives out free cigarettes (lol) so after a busy shift it’s so easy to drink and go for a cigarette after I clock out. I’m hoping joining a community will help me stick to my goals. I feel like when I share my goals with my friends they tell me I’m fine and everything is about moderation and there’s no point in going sober. It feels bad BUT to their credit I hide a lot of my addiction and behavior so they really don’t know how bad it has gotten for me. I want to feel more stable and not feel the need to turn to substances when I feel stressed out. I felt inspired when I saw an old coworker share his 1 month sobriety chip on instagram. I’m hoping I can do the same soon!! Wish me luck :3
