Thank you so much for writing! I am just shy of 8 months alcohol free - and things aren’t “clicking” just yet. I am definitely healthier, but still feel lonely, sad, and bored quite a bit. I haven’t actually gotten a big “glow up” like I thought would arrive. Ha! I’m definitely not giving up but wondering what I’m missing. At any rate - reading your words is a big help and a reminder to keep paying attention. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing so honestly. It’s so common to expect a big transformation and then feel confused or even a little let down when our experience doesn’t quite track. You’re definitely not alone in that.

I’m curious... what kinds of support, connection, or activities (if any) have you explored since getting sober? Sometimes that feeling of something missing is really a nudge toward a new layer of alignment or aliveness we haven’t tapped into yet.
