  • I hope it is the good kind of feeling sad and i didn’t make you feel like crap… If so, im truly sorry!

    If you enjoyed all those things then, try them out again! But only continue if you feel happy doing them. Don’t force it. Take it slow, and just experience it! Whatever you feel, that’s okay :)

    With 3 guitars and 5 cameras, i’m sure you can pickup the love you had for them again. Creativity is what i love most, and what helps me out the most.

    That’s going to be a little tough at first, but you’ll get used to it pretty fast!

    To help that proces going, try to find some things to do.

    Summary of my proces (if it’s okay if i share that):

    • first couple of weeks/months: i made sure to clean up my house (and keeping it that way) and took some longer showers. Made a little walk as often as i think i could handle. Started eating more veggies and fruit, preparing them is just as helpful as it is for your health! After a while i felt more in control just by doing such simple things.

    • After the first years: i started doing charity work and moved to my own appartment! Within the second year of being sober i managed to also quit smoking. I kept doing the things i listed above, without adding much to it. Now, i felt really in control, but i often had a hard time enjoying the sober life.

    • I’m ~5,5 years further. Now i have managed to pickup even more charity work, i workout 4 times a week for over a year now and even more since last week, i’m learning how to play some instruments and make music, i started a diet a year ago and love eating my everyday carrot snack time, i have healthy and good contact with friends and family, i’ve renovated my appartment and have some money on the bank, i even joined a photography club and go out with my cameras a lot!

    Life has become enjoyable again! I still have moment where everything seems dark, but everyone has that. That’s okay. I get through that.
    And so do you! You have made the first important steps and you’ve found your true motivation. The hardest part is over. Now, enjoy your new life. If you ever need to talk, i’m (and we are) here.

    Yes, that strenght will protect you. I felt the same for quite some time, but now i’m in my 6th year been sober, all thanks to that strenght! And don’t worry about not feeling yourself. Now that you are sober, you actually just started being yourself again! It takes time to get used to that, so just take that time :)

    I’m very happy for you! Keep up the good work.





  • This is OP’s i don’t know how many new account, constantly complaining about how pirated games (even games from respectable companies who should be paid for their awesome work, such as Cyberpunk) and things like Brave won’t work on Linux. It’s the same thing over and over again, just with different accounts.

    That’s where my downvote comes from. I would love to help (if i could), and many others here would too, but this is just getting really annoying.
