If Jesus can deliver you sobriety maybe he can deliver you grammar, punctuation, and spelling too

I’ve been there twice. It’s better on this side. Please work the program, hang with people who know their stuff (you’ll figure out the people who aren’t taking it seriously over time) and do what is necessary to stay sober. And if nobody else has said it, “I love you and am proud of you for this giant first step!”

You can do it. One day at a time.

Reply to [Discussion] What do you use for an alarm/to wake up and not go back to sleep? by TheDrKillJoy
I use a dupe for the hatch alarm (sunrise alarm) that I got on amazon. It works pretty well for me

Figure out how much sleep time you actually need, figure out when you need to wake up, and do the math to arrive at the time you need to go to bed.
Then, go to bed at that time.

No, overthinking is a risk that can be higher in a "smart" person. There are many factors involved.

Find a group, there are many. You won't like them all. That is OK. But find one. Come all the way in and sit all the way down. You will most likely feel uncomfortable in doing so. Do it anyway.
You have done the hardest part already.

50 days in. Every day I tell myself that I just have to get through the day. You’re stronger than you know. You can do this

I don't think overthinking is the side of the coin we should be worried about.

I don't agree with this. You have to try things you have to follow people to find yourself. I have to find me, to grow up. I'm not always myself, i change into a different self. I don't do the things i did when i was a kid. I believe different things.

They’re not. “Overthinking” is one of the cons of being smart.

Terrible advice. Just acting is the mindset of animals not humans. Be better.

The problem with that is that the people these are targeted at are not smart enough to identify that and just take the comment at face value. It's the common problem and risk with this stuff.

I don't always think when I act but when I do it's waste of energy.

The first step is the hardest and most important man. Great job. As addicts we all are trying to fill some void inside that we’ll never fill with substances. You gotta fill it with something greater. Good job being brave and asking for help- you don’t have to go it alone- failed many times because I was too stubborn to ask. But the help will be given if you ask the right way
