Been in the house for a most of the past couple weeks because the weather is pretty cold. I got no money and no job and it’s been brutal trying to find a job. My sober group doesn’t really talk to me and even after over 90 days alcohol free I still want to drink again because of fomo at bars. I still smoke thc as it makes staying home feel much better. Just in a huge rut and don’t know what to do. Still trying to get an appointment with a therapist and it’s taking forever so here I am venting my dirty laundry on here with no other options. My apologies for posting personal stuff on this page. Just got nowhere else to go for conversation
Good job on 90 days. What FOMO are you missing from bars? Just being around others? I vaguely recall the thrill of a drunken make out – but those don’t really happen anymore in your 30s.
I feel like next steps are establishing a schedule - you had mentioned things like walks and stuff. Get to it - layer up if it’s cold - bring a rifle if it’s Antarctica. Try and establish a schedule that involves waking up, eating, exercise, bathing and bedtime.
After we’ve got a week or two of a schedule the next steps are employment. Holiday season should open up retail jobs. Cut/buzz your hair and/or ensure you’re cleaned up while you’re establishing a schedule.
