Something simple like working at your local (walking distance) deli. They get bored and wander back to what they "think" they'd rather be doing. Addiction devours your time which is a factor in many people's relapse. It's one of the reasons we track your time saved in the app. One of the first things you discover after getting sober is how much time you have. Take on a diet that's sustainable (not just a fad) and stick to it to help establish a new routine. Food can be a trigger as much as family or a job can. Metabolism rises and falls, bowel movements, and even one's ability to focus on tasks. Removing daily substances from your system causes a sort of waterfall effect of changing mental and bodily functions. You ever try to cut something out of your diet you ingest every day? Coffee? Sugar? Methamphetamines? Suffice to say, it's difficult, but it can be an excellent way to help you stay sober. So whether you're a skeptic, a believer, a data-driven engineer or artistic painter, a few of these tips should apply. So once you're reinserted into your daily life with the same routine as before - minus the alcohol - it's undersandable why someone would struggle adjusting to staying sober. Staying sober is a 24 hour ordeal and every minute, you learn to identify triggers, temptations, environmental hazards and - sometimes - the welcome distractions to help you stay sober.Ī big part of getting sober is plugging you into a new environment, detached from your usual acquaintances, and receiving constant guidance from trained professionals. Most people in recovery undergo at least one relapse, but you learn from each experience. This is when sobriety requires effort, discipline and endurance or you will suffer a relapse. On the negative side, you will have long stretches of isolation, sweating bullets, seeing spots, and feeling like your legs are going to give out as you hit the runner's wall. On the plus side, you have people cheering you on and giving you support at various checkpoints. Getting sober is a sprint, staying sober is like running a marathon without a finish line. ![]()
