So hard to stay sober

Something to ease my mind, and take all the bad thoughts away… To make me feel an overwhelming sense of just being okay.

I can’t do it though. I gotta stay clean.

Yes, boredom also leads my mind to wanting to use.
I try to keep myself busy but I can’t fight the thought

If Thor didn’t break your WiFi YouTube and this forum help with boredom…

Yes, this forum really does help. Last night sucked without it. I usually just lay in bed and stay on my phone.

whenever I get on YouTube I always end up in the bad parts of YouTube… lol like salvia trips or something.

Watch gamers and fail videos…

Gamers?

Fail videos are funny. And some of the prank videos are funny.
I like this one: https://youtu.be/YA6VQ8gntpU

and the sequel: https://youtu.be/vG5nXRDATNI

the second one is the best. Watch them! lol

Are you attending 12 Step meetings? If so, do you have a sponsor? (Female is best – guys sponsoring gals usually ends badly). Contact numbers to call? I sobered up through AA 24 years ago and still attend meetings. Highly recommend it to others who are struggling.

Sending hugs from Canada. :heart:

I’m fighting with alcohol too. It’s been almost eight months since I drank anything, but that’s mainly because the only two stores in town that sold beer both closed. I am starting to feel like I don’t need it any more. I know what you mean about that overwhelming sense of just being okay. I got that from alcohol too. Just remember how you would feel when you’re hung over and wondering what you did the night before.

I’m not attending any meetings. I do feel like I need to. About a year ago I was debating either going to admit myself or go to rehab. I chose admitting myself, but I always wonder what rehab would do for me. I’m living with family that doesn’t know I have any of the problems I have… So once I get on my feet and move out I’ll probably need NA meetings…
