keeping a positive attitude

[Majronald0]

Hi,

I'm trying really hard to stay focused on the good in life, but everything seems to be working against me, how can I get through these really bad times? I'm only 4 days sober and I have been going to meetings every day and I have been praying , but I can't shake this hopelessness.

Are you saying that I am the problem?

Hi there and welcome aboard. It is very hard to keep a positive attitude in early recovery as the dust is usually just settling from our drinking days. Myself I went through mood swings, depressions and all sort of things before things began to settle down.Even today I struggle with a positive attitude, but I keep trying to apply one regardless and keep going to meetings and netwroking with positive people. Have a great day

One Day at a Time, sometimes minutes at a time to stay sober.

Keep going to meetings, Get a sponsor and start working the steps. Get phone numbers of other alcoholics/addicts. And call them. Early sobriety is hard, we have all been there. I know relying on others and asking for help is hard also, but it helps, especially in the first few weeks. And you may also grab one of us. We can help too. Good luck in your journey.

Hey there and welcome. Believe me in my first few weeks of soberity (& I went throught a treatment facility), it was like now that I'm sober I will be healthy & happy. Wrong, I found out I started feeling my emotions raw. I always drank to hide my feelings so feeling them without help from alcohol was very trying. But as the weeks progressed it got just a little bit easier. I just prayed to get by 1 minute, 1 hour at a time. I still have good & bad days, but remember stay in the now - don't future trip, and it might get a little easier. Put that big smile on your face and know that Your Higher Power has your back. :D
