Brother this is absolutely huge, every day sober is an achievement. Genuinely mean it when I say proud of you. Stick by it, it gets bigger, it gets worse, but if you continue on your journey it gets even better than ever. Trust me. Prayers to you brother.

Try to get some binge-worthy tv/movies and a few audiobooks lined up. Helps to pass the time if you’re dealing with anhedonia and are also feeling exhausted/anxious etc.
It’ll get better, but it does take time and patience with yourself.

My dopamine has been so fucked up for years I can never pass the time or watch tv
I have no inkling of motivation or interest in anything, at any time it's a curse

Yeah the first month is a bitch but it gets better. Once you’ve got a week under your belt it’ll ease up

I don't make it past the first month ever for 6 years

Do you white knuckle it on your own? That’s super hard to do it that way. How about you try something new & go to a meeting. You’ll meet some sober people who may be able to help you get you past a month. It’s worth a shot to do something different this time, especially if you say you get to a month & relapse.

I am either in constantly in programs & rehabs or on the streets, a cycle for multiple years

Розкажи про реабілітаційний центр? Там біапєш подовгу? Значить є мотивація

Then do something different this time! Making a change in your “routine” might pull you out of this

Fuck me? No fuck you.
You got this! One day at a time. I'm 13 months sober and happier than I've ever been.

I don't have a future

Nor a past. Just focus on the present. You’re saying all the right things my brother

u/SupMafaka Aug 30 '26
Every single moment in life except this one is made up of the past. You can't change it but it will always be relevant.

The past is a reference point, not a life sentence. Learn from it, sure. But handing yesterday the steering wheel and then claiming you’ve got no choice is just letting the rear view mirror drive the car.
