100%! It’s been really tough because anytime I’m listening to a podcast or anything and they talk about how much they enjoy weed or they’re smoking weed. It’s incredibly triggering for me but we’re working on it.
@@Quittingtogether Everything feels "new". Almost similar to the feeling of visiting a new country on holiday. I've noticed that food tastes better, music sounds better, and I'm able to think for clearly and be more "present"/self-aware of myself and what's happening around me. I'm no longer scared to check my bank account, and I've picked up hobbies such as going to the gym or playing badminton. I'm living an ordinary life like anyone else, but I feel like I enjoy living more compared to someone who's never been through addiction. For example, I've started enjoying smaller things like bus commutes and cleaning my room, etc. It's almost as if I'm glad to be alive and sober which is something I thought would never happen. The first week was rough, but it's just something we all have to push through :). So I'd say the best part about it is the feeling like I've been blessed with a "Second chance". Wishing you and everyone else the best! : )
i love that ur doing these videos and have watched them at the end of every day so far this year. i think having other people on and different view points is a great idea! drug use and addiction are such misinformed topics and looked at far more simply than they are. for me the struggle when sober is to have a hobby, because im clinically depressed its hard to enjoy any hobbies anymore. im just a shell of a person with no real passions besides my gf but our relationship isnt always the best and shes not always the comfort i wish she was.
First, thanks for the encouragement and feedback! I appreciate it! As someone who myself has struggled a lot with depression, I must say if you want to change, you have to make a change. Idk your situation, but what can you do to rearrange your life in a significant way? Getting sober is a huge one and the biggest one for me! On top of that creating a good routine everyday can work wonders! Keep checking in. I would love to hear about your progress.
I think that would be a great one to do! I’m currently taking this week off work to focus on recovery. Maybe when I start back up next week, I could make a video on that. Day 6! LETS GO!!!
Remember to focus on the positive

Good Morning. You already look and sound clearer and sharper. Hope I do too. Morning of day 5.
It’s the lighting…. Jk but for real man I feel much more clear. DAY 5 is a great day to be alive! Thanks for checking in and I’m so proud of you!
You look way healthier! Keep it up man! You're an inspiration. I got sober Dec 23rd 2023, and never looked back.
That’s amazing! How does it feel? What would you say is the best part
