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

    Congrats on 90 days!! Huge fucking milestone, well done! When FOMO kicks in, force yourself to think about low points you’ve had with the fire water - it’s not worth it - plus there is a huge market opening up for non-alcoholic drinks, so when you feel a bit more resilient that’s an option to socialize, YMMV.

    In terms of getting out, I whole-hearterdly agree with the other commenter with volunteering. I would further suggest doing something physical, trash cleanups, running/biking club, etc. For me, getting my heart pounding and sweat pouring vanquishes any anxiety I might have had entering the situation or generally.

    Best of luck!
